I'm trying to parse file2 for record 23 and use it to replace file1's record 23.
This is the command I'd like to run each time.
script.awk file1 file2
Here is an example of record 23 for either file. Same delimiters and number of digits in each value as well as having the same first field string.
currentmax: 1.7229 1.6888 1.1069 1.6238
This would then be the first section of a larger awk script. I would add more to this script to work only with the new values in file1 and output to file3 but that would be for later.
I'm not sure if a different file order in the command would make the script easier to write and then manipulate file1 until output to file3. Switching file1 and file2 may work.
script.awk file2 file1
