Question problem using awk
Hi there every body
I'm new to shell scripting and there is a problem facing me,, please look at the following piece of code:
Code:
awk   ' 

BEGIN{

FS="<assertion id=\1";

RS="<assertion id=\"2"}/<assertion id=\"1/{print FS$2 > "/home/ds2/test/output.txt"}
' filename

all I wanna do is to replace the 1 found in FS with a variable that can be changed dynamically as follows:

var=1
awk  -v var1="$var" ' /var1/

BEGIN{

FS="<assertion id=\"var1";

RS="<assertion id=\"2"}/<assertion id=\"var1/{print FS$2 > "/home/ds2/test/output.txt"}
' filename

but it doesn't work so pls couldany one help me???

glfrontface

GLFRONTFACE(3G) 						   OpenGL Manual						   GLFRONTFACE(3G)

NAME

       glFrontFace - define front- and back-facing polygons

C SPECIFICATION

       void glFrontFace(GLenum mode);

PARAMETERS

       mode
	   Specifies the orientation of front-facing polygons.	GL_CW and GL_CCW are accepted. The initial value is GL_CCW.

DESCRIPTION

       In a scene composed entirely of opaque closed surfaces, back-facing polygons are never visible. Eliminating these invisible polygons has
       the obvious benefit of speeding up the rendering of the image. To enable and disable elimination of back-facing polygons, call glEnable()
       and glDisable() with argument GL_CULL_FACE.

       The projection of a polygon to window coordinates is said to have clockwise winding if an imaginary object following the path from its
       first vertex, its second vertex, and so on, to its last vertex, and finally back to its first vertex, moves in a clockwise direction about
       the interior of the polygon. The polygon's winding is said to be counterclockwise if the imaginary object following the same path moves in
       a counterclockwise direction about the interior of the polygon.	glFrontFace specifies whether polygons with clockwise winding in window
       coordinates, or counterclockwise winding in window coordinates, are taken to be front-facing. Passing GL_CCW to mode selects
       counterclockwise polygons as front-facing; GL_CW selects clockwise polygons as front-facing. By default, counterclockwise polygons are
       taken to be front-facing.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if mode is not an accepted value.

ASSOCIATED GETS

       glGet() with argument GL_FRONT_FACE
