Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers [SOLVED] Field $() is incorrect 'what does it mean' Post 302703837 by Corona688 on Thursday 20th of September 2012 12:11:45 PM

$ does not mean 'variable' in awk. $ is an operator which means 'column'.

i.e, this: print $5 is equivalent to N=5 ; print $N

If you want the value of a variable, and not the column it represents, use it without the $.
