Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to make a number in a text file a variable? Post 302086210 by nortypig on Wednesday 23rd of August 2006 01:43:17 AM

I've sat here for an hour trying to get that variable to show up in an awk...

Code:
cat gzipsize.txt | awk '{print "echo",$1,$2} > master.txt

I've got a variable in my script called $size and i want to print it after the second field from the text file.

Could you please give me a clue on how to effectively insert variables from my script into the awk?

My book seems to have no examples of this and the many ways I've got from googling has led down blind paths that didn't work.

Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Mojo::Asset::File(3pm)

NAME
Mojo::Asset::File - File storage for HTTP 1.1 content SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::Asset::File; # Temporary file my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new; $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz'); say 'File contains "bar"' if $file->contains('bar') >= 0; say $file->slurp; # Existing file my $file = Mojo::Asset::File->new(path => '/home/sri/foo.txt'); $file->move_to('/yada.txt'); say $file->slurp; DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Asset::File is a file storage backend for HTTP 1.1 content. ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Asset::File inherits all attributes from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones. "cleanup" my $cleanup = $file->cleanup; $file = $file->cleanup(1); Delete file automatically once it's not used anymore. "handle" my $handle = $file->handle; $file = $file->handle(IO::File->new); File handle, created on demand. "path" my $path = $file->path; $file = $file->path('/home/sri/foo.txt'); File path used to create "handle", can also be automatically generated if necessary. "tmpdir" my $tmpdir = $file->tmpdir; $file = $file->tmpdir('/tmp'); Temporary directory used to generate "path", defaults to the value of the "MOJO_TMPDIR" environment variable or auto detection. METHODS
Mojo::Asset::File inherits all methods from Mojo::Asset and implements the following new ones. "add_chunk" $file = $file->add_chunk('foo bar baz'); Add chunk of data. "contains" my $position = $file->contains('bar'); Check if asset contains a specific string. "get_chunk" my $chunk = $file->get_chunk($start); Get chunk of data starting from a specific position. "is_file" my $true = $file->is_file; True. "move_to" $file = $file->move_to('/home/sri/bar.txt'); Move asset data into a specific file and disable "cleanup". "size" my $size = $file->size; Size of asset data in bytes. "slurp" my $string = $file->slurp; Read all asset data at once. SEE ALSO
