[SOLVED] awk if statement with simple math

Issue

I'm just trying to do some basic calculations on a CSV file.

Data:

31590,Foo,70
28327,Bar,291
25155,Baz,583
24179,Food,694
28670,Spaz,67
22190,bawk,4431
29584,alfred,142
27698,brian,379
24372,peter,22
25064,weinberger,8

Here's my simple awk script:

#!/usr/local/bin/gawk -f
BEGIN { FPAT="([^,]*)|(\"[^\"]+\")"; OFS=","; OFMT="%.2f"; }
    NR > 1
END { if ($3>1336) $4=$3*0.03; if ($3<1336) $4=$3*0.05;}1**

Wrong output:

31590,Foo,70
28327,Bar,291
28327,Bar,291
25155,Baz,583
25155,Baz,583
24179,Food,694
24179,Food,694
28670,Spaz,67
28670,Spaz,67
22190,bawk,4431
22190,bawk,4431
29584,alfred,142
29584,alfred,142
27698,brian,379
27698,brian,379
24372,peter,22
24372,peter,22
25064,weinberger,8
25064,weinberger,8

Excepted output:

31590,Foo,70,3.5
28327,Bar,291,14.55
25155,Baz,583,29.15
24179,Food,694,34.7
28670,Spaz,67,3.35
22190,bawk,4431,132.93
29584,alfred,142,7.1
27698,brian,379,18.95
24372,peter,22,1.1
25064,weinberger,8,.04

Simple math is if field $3 > 1336 = $3*.03 and results in field $4 field $3 < 1336 = $3*.05 and results in field $4

Solution

There's no need to force awk to recompile every record (by assigning to $4), just print the current record followed by the result of your calculation:

awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","; OFMT="%.2f"} {print $0, $3*($3>1336?0.03:0.05)}' file
