Issue when printing filename through cygwin using a variable with awk
Hi,

If i were to do this an print out the file, it will show as it is in the command

Code:
$ awk '/Privilege Use/ {P=0} /Object Access/ {P=1} P' AdvancedAudit.txt
Object Access
  File System                             No Auditing
  Registry                                No Auditing
  Kernel Object                           No Auditing
  SAM                                     No Auditing
  Certification Services                  No Auditing
  Application Generated                   No Auditing
  Handle Manipulation                     No Auditing
  File Share                              No Auditing
  Filtering Platform Packet Drop          No Auditing
  Filtering Platform Connection           No Auditing
  Other Object Access Events              No Auditing
  Detailed File Share                     No Auditing
  Removable Storage                       No Auditing
  Central Policy Staging                  No Auditing

However if i were to store the awk in a variable and cat it later it will seems to execute the command. My expected output is the above mentioned.

Code:
objectaccess=`awk '/Privilege Use/ {P=0} /Object Access/ {P=1} P' AdvancedAudit.txt`
cat $objectaccess

Substitute cat for echo and see the difference.
Code:
echo $objectaccess
