I have a normal ksh script and sometime I call awk command. I set some variables in the script and I would like to use them up within AWK as well. Unfortunately AWK seems to forget all the variable values outside of its own AWK section.
E.g.
How can I make AWK aware of a variable value set outside of AWK section?
Quote:
in ksh I was able to typeset -i variable for better calculations. Is there any kind variable set within AWK?
The same arithmetical command gives me a normal result in ksh (e.g. 238749, but in AWK the same in format like 1.34983+12). Is there any way to have normal number in AWK as well?
i would like to pass a variable to awk wherein the variable comes from external loop.
i tried this...
let x=0
until test $x -eq 32
do
cat file | awk '{ print $1 , "Number" , $($x) }' >> output
done
