Hello all,
I would like to output a random number within a range for every line using awk and shuf. I think I'm almost there, but I don't know how to pass arguments to shuf within my awk script:
Input
1 12190 12227
1 12595 12721
1 13403 13639
1 14362 14829
1 14970 15038
awk:
awk '{ a = (shuf -i $2"-"$3 -n 1)}{print $1,a}' Input
Desired Output (with second column being a random number between field 2 and 3 of input file):
1 12211
1 12659
1 13411
1 14705
1 15021
Al I get so far is
1 012190-122271
1 012595-127211
1 013403-136391
1 014362-148291
1 014970-150381
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
