Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting foreach variable used in awk (please help!!) Post 302386223 by Scott on Monday 11th of January 2010 07:23:59 PM

The foreach construct you mentioned is a shell construct. In awk, you'd use something like

Code:
for( ELEMENT in ARRAY )

Doing this wholly inside awk is quicker than doing it in the shell.

And I'd recommend not using the C-Shell - period - which is why I did it in awk Smilie

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 SEE ALSO
