I have an awk script that counts the average of rows from every file from a given directory and its subdirectories and I have to print the filename and the average from a file like this example.c : 5. So I have filenames like this ../labor1/munka/hazik_pagi4188/hazik/c_prog/lab1/fork2.c and I want to get like this fork2.c (I have different length file names with path)


What I have tried:

sub("[^\/]*$","")
I always get this error message
awk: warning: escape sequence `\/' treated as plain `/'

Hint: man basename

You do not need to escape a forward slash in that position. You can select the final part of the string by using the FS character to split the string into fields, and the NF variable to know how many parts there are.
