Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Get enviroment variables into AWK, but not quite that simple! Post 302070752 by m1l on Friday 7th of April 2006 06:03:31 AM
Old 04-07-2006
As always you post these things and then find the answer. My Problem was I was using awk, not nawk. Also in the file, you can't have the $, so it would be

COPY my_file COPY_DIR tmp 777

in the file and the script copy bit would be

COPY) echo "Running COPY for `echo $line | awk '{print $2}' -`";
echo "Copying to `echo $line | awk '{print $3 "/" $4}' -`";
echo "Copying to `echo $line | nawk '{print ENVIRON[$3] "/" $4}' -`";
echo "Setting chmod to `echo $line | awk '{print $5}' -`";
echo "File before copy";
ls -al `echo $line | nawk '{print ENVIRON[$3] "/" $4 "/" $2}' -`;
cp `echo $line | nawk '{print $2 " " ENVIRON[$3] "/" $4}' -`;
chmod `echo $line | nawk '{print $5 " " ENVIRON[$3] "/" $4 "/" $2}' -`;
echo "File after copy";
ls -al `echo $line | nawk '{print ENVIRON[$3] "/" $4 "/" $2}' -`;
