awk: cannot open inputf

little_fairy · #1 (**permalink**) 04-22-2009

I'd like some help with awk too.

Somewhere in my bash script i have written something like this:

Code:

awk -v outputfile=$finalFile -v inputf=$file 'BEGIN { commands }
    { more commands }
        ΕND{ }' inputf

where the file is a .input file with data.

I also tried this:

Code:

awk -v outputfile=$finalFile 'BEGIN { commands }
    { more commands }
        ΕND{ }' file

But in both cases i have the following error:
awk: cannot open inputf (No such file or directory)

Any help?

Something like this?

Code:

awk '{....}' "$file" > "$finalFile"
