I am using awk to go through a text file that has information of finished scripts then says complete (morning) then informaton of finished scripts then says complete (afternoon) then information of finished scripts then says complete (night).
I am trying to keep track of the finished scripts for each block.
The way I am doing it is…
awk '
/Completed/ {next} //finished morning block
/Finished/ {mornCount+=1} //count finishes in morning block
/Completed/ {next}
/Finished/ {afterCount+=1}
/Completed/ {exit}
/Finished/ {nightCount+=1}
END{
print "procedures completed this morning: " mornCount
print "procedures completed this afternoon: " afterCount
print "procedures completed at night: " nightCount
}
' file.txt
However the values I get for morn, after, and night is the same.
start start start Finished Finished Finished Completed start start Finished Finished Completed start Finished Complete
so I would want 3, 2, and 1 as my output – finishes for (morning, afternoon, and night)

Answer
This should work
awk 'BEGIN{split("morning afternoon night",a)}
/Finished/{x++}
/Completed/{print a[++y]":"x;x=0}' file
BEGIN block executes at the start of the script. The split just creates an array like
a[1] = morning a[2] = afternoon a[3] = night
x is incremented every time Finished is seen
When completed is seen, y is incremented and value from that position in a is printed with the value in x.
x is reset
repeat
Output from your example
morning:3 afternoon:2 night:1
