Your questions are valid but now we are getting down "into the weeds" of my application. It chooses all properties on a user-specified street and compares the Property Location Address with the Owner's Mailing Address. A match is counted as an owner-occupied residence; a no-match is counted as a rental. The input data is flawed and the logic might be questioned, but the result is fairly accurate. This is recreational programming so spot-on accuracy is not important.
All house numbers are six digits with leading zeros.
There's an esthetic appeal to accomplishing the entire job with a single
awk but I now think a three-step pipe (
awk-sort-awk) may be more efficient.
Thank you for your interest. Let's put this thread to rest.
