I have a question to add a column title during a loop with awk:
I currently have this code, which calculates the mean of each line for each csv file :



for i in *.csv; do 
awk -F"," 'NR==1 next
T=0
for(N=1; N<=NF; N++) T+=$N;
T/=NF
print T ' $i > Mean$i
done


So I get files MeanName1.csv, MeanName2.csv, ... containing:



2.5 3.5 ...
4.2 3.4
1.2 3.9
1.2 3.7


I would like to get a single file "Mean" containing:



Name1 Name2 ...
2.5 3.5
4.2 3.4
1.2 3.9
1.2 3.7


I failed to use print FILENAME in the loop.



Do you have any suggestions ?
Thank you

Joining the output files is easiest done with paste, but I don't think it knows how to add the file names as headers. But we can do that manually to the intermediate output files within the loop, so:



for i in *.csv; do
out="Mean$i"
echo "$i%.csv" > "$out"
awk -F"," 'NR==1 next
T=0
for(N=1; N<=NF; N++) T+=$N;
T/=NF
print T ' $i >> "$out"
done
paste Mean*.csv > All.csv


$i%.csv is just the value of $i with the suffix .csv removed, so for foo.csv and bar.csv, that gives an output like this:



bar foo
4.33333 2.5
3.8 3.5



I note you're also skipping the first line of each input line (NR==1 next ). If they contain useful headers, you could of course use those too by changing that to NR==1 print; next and then removing the echo I added above.
