Hi,
You can load a configuration file containing variables from within AWK?

Thanks.

I guess you mean: -

"Can You load a configuration file containing variables from within AWK?"

not

"You can load a configuration file containing variables from within AWK?".

Are you talking about variables you want to use as awk variables, or shell type variables in a file you want to manipulate?

Internally used awk variables are more commonly passed in on the command line.
