ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

The while loop is not complete. The do and done statements refer to the for loop. Hence the "unexpected end of file" error. By the way, I would check the logic more carefully: probably you don't need the inner for loop (or the outer while loop) if you want to parse the entire file one row at a time.
Edit: you may also consider to do a simple and pure awk code, using redirection inside awk (same syntax as shell redirection).
Well... this is not exactly what I meant. Awk parses the text file, executing all commands on each line, so maybe there is no need to loop over the file with shell commands (if I correctly understand your question). So, why not simply...?

You're welcome! I hope it was clear the whole frame and the meaning of the errors you got before reaching the solution. Maybe, you will check again the syntax of your awk command, since it looks like the obtained scripts will not work as you expect, he he he... Cheers!
