vgersh,

I tried with this code but it is saying --

f1=${ccseq[0]};f2=${ccseq[1]};f3=${ccseq[2]};f4=${ccseq[3]};f5=${ccseq[4]};f6=${ccseq[5]}

awk -v c1=$f1 -v c2=$f2 -v c3=$f3 -v c4=$f4 -v c5=$f5 -v c6=$f6 'BEGIN{OFS=FS="\t"} {print $c1,$c2,$c3,$c4,$c5,$c6}' ${fname}

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

can you please help me out !
I want the column value could be anything between 1-6 so i have tried to assign c=$f1 ,c2=$f2,....here f1 ,f2 ,....will be generating the proper column sequence between 1 to 6 and passed to awk to print ..but i am failed to do so.

I am using SunOS.

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 SEE ALSO
