Awk with variables
Hi
I have a file with a line like this, wich is read by an awk script : Logical Name | Server Type | Server1 | DB1 | User1 | $PASSWORD | Serv2 |DB2 | User2 | $PASSWORD Awk reads it fine, but...it doesnt interpret the variable $PASSWORD as I wish. How do I tell awk to substitute $PASSWORD by its value? Thanks a lot

something along these lines.....
nawk -v var='PASSWORD' -v val='foo' -f scar.awk myFile.txt scar.awk: Code:
BEGIN {
FS="|"
PAT_var= "(^| )[$]" var "($| )"
}
{
gsub(PAT_var, " " val " ")
print
}
