fi"
}'

I dont know where iam right or not.please help me

don't understand what you're trying to achieve, but.....
look into 'system' call on awk's man page.

or

judging from what you want to do in your awk portion, you could have just
done simple comparison in shell, no need for awk.

Hi ghostdog,

This is not just a comparison,I am trying to achieve deletion and moving of files after text processing.

The below example is a simple try for unix commands inside awk.
