Hello, I've been trying to figure out how to use variables inside the AWK command and use it back in the korn shell sript.

in my script I have lots of awk commands like this

grep Listen /etc/ssh/sshd_config | \
awk '{ if ($2 == "22" ) print "OK";
else print "not OK"
}'

I need to add a counter to count how many issues/problems I have, something like

x=0

grep Listen /etc/ssh/sshd_config | \
awk '{ if ($2 == "22" )
print "OK";
else
print "not OK"
x++
}'

# ... more of awk commands ...

echo x;

unfortunatelly x "inside" the awk command is different/local to awk command ... is there a way to do thi/

Thank you,
K.
