Hello all

Have the following problem, can someone please . I need to do this
in a Unix Shell script.

I have a text file with the following two lines in the file;

Audit_Value_1: 10000
Audit_Value_2: 5764.34

The followng should happen:
1. Read values

2. calc new values;
x=10000-1
y=5764.34 - 2.4

3.Replace original lines in file with;
Audit_Value_1: 9999
Audit_Value_2: 5761.94

Your would be appreciated.

Thanks,

B

I think you mean "Replace original lines in file with calculated values"
(otherwise you don't need step 2 if you just want to replace them by a
constant string).

awk '
$1 == "Audit_Value_1:" { $2 -= 1 }
$1 == "Audit_Value_2:" { $2 -= 2.4 }
{ print }
' your_text_file

Hello Janis

'Replace original lines in file with calculated values' is indeed
exactly what I meant and thanks for the advice!
