I have a text file with 3 columns as below.



$ cat test.txt
1,A,300
1,B,300
1,C,300


Now i want to increment the third column only,
the output should be like below



1,A,300
1,B,301
1,C,302


Till now i have tried as,



awk -F, '$3=$3+1;print' OFS=, test.txt


But output is coming as,



1,A,301
1,B,301
1,C,301


Please do suggest, how to achieve the desired output?

    or keep a separate variable for the amount to increment, and increment that variable for each line: $3 += inc; inc++

awk -F, 'BEGIN offset=0; OFS="," print $1,$2,$3+offset++"' /path/to/input


or, alternatively:



awk -F, 'BEGIN OFS="," print $1,$2,$3+(NR-1)"' /path/to/input

    Your initial approach with a small tweak:



    awk -F',' 'BEGIN OFS = FS $3 = $3 + (NR-1); print ' test.txt


    The NR variable holds the number of records (lines) read so far.
