The output works! But somehow when i ran it it gives out 113.281 first, then the next line is -88.2017

I added a printf to make the output sorting irrelevant.

i am still getting $CROSS_BEAM_PROPERTY_109 as the first line. Is it because i am using tcsh and not bash?

@nabilishes odd, Im not sure. Does it still happen if you ditch the cat command and put $file at the end of the awk command?
