I use a simple script to calculate a derivative which exits when Y
value is >3.0. I'd like to add a newline to the file before the
program exits, but I can't get it right. I've tried to add { print
\n } before exit on line 10 and all kinds of its variants, but without
success...

BEGIN { firstline = 1 }
$0 !~ /^[A-Z]/ { if (firstline == 1) {
old_x = $9
old_y = $6
firstline = 0
}
else
{
print $1, (old_x + $9)/2.0, (old_y - $6)/(old_x - $9 + 0.000001 )
if ( $9 > 3.0 ) exit
old_x = $9
old_y = $6
}
}

Hi,

Did you try simple
if($9 > 3.0){ print ""; exit }
?
