how to pass variable in NR function used in awk command?
Hi
I want to pass variables with the NR function in awk command.
test_file1 is input file having 500 records.
var1=100.
var2=200
awk -F" " 'NR >= $var1 && NR <= $var2' test_file1 > test_file2.
My end result should be that test_file2 should have records from line number between $var1 and $var2.
Any other commands for it?
