Assignment
Write an awk script that implements a report writer.
Program
The report computes summary data on the performance of sales associates for our company "No-op Computing.".
The awk script file name must be "123456.list"
The script should compute the sale amounts per associate for the year 2013 and print them in a sorted list ranked according to the sales amount.
The awk script is invoked from the command line with an inputfile that contains data on products, associates and sales, possibly for multiple years: awk -f 123456.list inputfile Input
1 .The lines in the input file use ":" as field separator. There are 3 types of lines in the file:
-lines that describe products have the following
-fields: product id: an integer number product
-category: alphanumeric text description:
-alphanumeric text
-price: floating point number, with 2 significant digits
-lines that describe associates have the following fields:
2.associate id: an integer number name:
-alphanumeric text position:
-alphanumeric text
3.lines that describe sales have the following fields:
-transaction id:
-an integer number product id:
-an integer number quantity:
-an integer number
-date: in the form of mm/dd/yyyy associate id:
-an integer number
Error Checking
If any error is encountered, such as incorrect data in the input file, just skip the line in question. Nothing further needs to be done to recover and use the values of the line.
Output
% awk -f z123456.list inputfile11

make sure that your assignment is contained in a single file called "123456.list"
make sure that your awk script runs fine on Linux
Make sure that your script file is a regular Unix text file. Don't add an extension (such as .txt) to the file name. Don't modify your file on Windows using notepad, it will add extra ^M characters at the end of each line.
