The filename is different, cause I tried to awk manually on a file which was already transferred via ftp, which we mark with a suffix of the process id then.
Data is just dummy date, and files really look like:
Funny thing is, that if I start the ksh script manually, which calls a script awk.ksh (see below) to do the split, then it works great. Starting the process from out the application, does nothing ...
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
_file_name=$1
awk '{close(f);f=$1}{print > f".txt"}' $_file_name
echo "awk has been called" >> tmp.log

The problem is sovled now ... due to the startup in the application, it was simply a completely different working directory which I did not check
Files are there, now the next question:
Is there any way, to put the files from the awk into variables in the ksh?
Code:
awk '{close(f);f=$1}{print > f".txt"}' $_ftpfile
means, the .txt files, as many as there are generated, into file1, file2, ... variables
in a ksh script, i want to process
some string variables using awk,
and then i want to go on using this variables
in the same ksh (out of awk lines)
can anybody send me a very simple example about this? (0 Replies)

@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 {
