Can I ask why you don't want to use perl? This is exactly the sort of thing perl was made for...

Now if your question is purely the match portion of it you could use something like this: echo $num/6*100 | bc -l to calculate your percentage. However if your question is how do you associate 12345678 in names with 13245678 in results then I'd say use perl.

I know but I need how to learn how to make a bash script, and at the moment Im not getting far with it.

save the commands, you'd normally type in a shell, as a textfile and put #!/bin/bash on the first line:
Example:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# My first script

echo "Hello World!"

then in shell (textfile.sh is your bash-script):

Code:

chmod +x textfile.sh

run the script:

Code:

./textfile.sh

also go through the whole tutorial on:

Any more suggestions, maybe more specific?

Cheers

if you want people to make your homework, at least post some info on how far you are right now.
You can't just put your homework-assignment here and expect people to write the whole assignment for you :?

Where did I say it was a homework assignment?

It's a script which we need in order to use with a optical machine that marks, certain data.

What I have done so far is extracted the 12345678 from the names file into the following format;

12345678, using simply cut -c 1-9 names > output

Next step which we are struggling on is having awk to calculate the % from the results file and alining it parallel next to the 123.. etc data.

So it looks like

12345678 60 etc..

Cheers

Well mate I got assignment to do. Looks exatly the same what you doing here. Well is ur business. Just a bit sad..

That's at the end of the thread

Personally i'm not against you doing homework, more the fact that by doing it yourself you learn alot more, and develop valuable research skills
