So on an so forth for the entire file. I am curious, what do you mean by the "awk" program being invalid?
At least, a quote is missing:
Code:
$ more week_ending_dates1.txt | grep Month | awk '{ print "time "$1 \n test1" > "file_"$1}'
awk: { print "time "$1 \n test1" > "file_"$1}
awk: ^ backslash not last character on line
$

igawk
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
