Hi All,
vgersh and ygor thanks a lot for the help, both the above things are working perfectly fine.
Hugow thanks a lot for your time, the awk syntax which I will be using now is
Quote:
awk -v q="'" '{print "value is" q $2 q}' inputfile
or
Quote:
awk '{print "value is \x27" $2 "\x27"}' inputfile
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
