Thank you very much for your answers! Now I am trying to use a variable from main script in awk program. I passed this variable into my awk program, but it doesn't work correctly. The script is given below:
awk '{print $FNT}' $file -v FNT=$FileNameTemplate
file here is a real XML fliename, FileNameTemplate is something like JFJF_New_07_09_09. I expect this script to output the value of the variable, but it outputs my XML file and then waits for an input, doing nothing and repeating my input after Enter button pressed... Please tell me where is my mistake and what should I read before I will ask such questions.
