    Post bash script help

    I have a file which has real numbers. the file has a number of lines and each line has 5 fields(words here numbers). Now my task is to check values in second field of each line and depending upon the range of value in which they fall take sum and then average of values in the first field. How to do so ?
    i am trying it with awk but not able to do it?
    file contents are like this

    perl would be my tool of choice for this task. Have a go and ask for help when you need it.

    Hi, desidude3.
