AWK: How to supress default print Following awk if statement always prints $0. How to stop it from doing so

    ( nodeComplete && count ) 
    {

        #print $0
        #print count;

        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {print array1[i];};

        nodeComplete=0;
        count=0;
    }

Welcome to SO, try changing your braces { position and let me know if this helps.

( nodeComplete && count ){
  #print $0
  #print count;
  for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {print array1[i];};
  nodeComplete=0;
  count=0;
}

Explanation of above change:

logic behind this is simple { next to condition means coming statements should be executed as per condition. If you put them in next line then it will all together a different set of block and condition will be a different block. So if condition is TRUE then it will print complete line since { is altogether a separate block.
