awk - getline from parametric file name
Hi!
I have an input file for an awk script that I need to split into several files and the process them separately line by line.
I have splitted the input file into the other files, that have been created correctly. But, since their names are parametric (i.e. output_1.txt, output_2.txt.. output_3.txt), I have some problems in reading them line by line using getline. Here is my code

Code:
RS="new";
FS="\n";
    while (getline < ARGV[1] ){
            if (NF > 1){ 
                print $line > "output_"i".txt"
                close ("output_"i".txt");
            }
            i++;
    }
    numSamples=i;
    #process the single files created
    RS="\n";
    FS="  ";
    j=0;
    for (j=0;j<numSamples;j++){
        file="output_"j".txt"
        getline < ($file)   #getline here cannot find the files
        print $line
        #then process a single line of the file I am reading...
    }

The input file is in the format:

HTML Code:
new
  900.00    0   879.58   998.00 
  900.00    1  1999.00   998.00 
  900.00    2   817.38  1002.00 
  900.00   12   687.10   998.00 
  900.00   13     6.67  1002.00 
  900.00   14   287.47  1002.00 
  900.00   15  1317.82   998.00 
  900.00   16   531.71  1002.00 
new
  936.85    0  1695.27   998.00 
  936.85    1  1736.01  1002.00 
  936.85    2     1.00  1002.00 
  936.85    3  1431.56   998.00 
  936.85    4  1999.00   998.00 
  936.85    5  1993.92   998.00 
  936.85    6  1965.63   998.00 
  936.85    7  1556.24  1002.00 
  ...
Any idea on alternatives to getline in reading line by line the different files? What is wrong with my code? Thank you very much!!

gensprep

gensprep(8)							 ICU 50.1.2 Manual						       gensprep(8)

NAME

       gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filterRFC3454.pl

SYNOPSIS

       gensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]

DESCRIPTION

       gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form.  The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then be read
       directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

       The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
	      Print help about usage and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Display extra informative messages during execution.

       -c, --copyright
	      Include a copyright notice into the binary data.

       -s, --sourcedir source
	      Set the source directory to source.  The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

       -d, --destdir destination
	      Set the destination directory to destination.  The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

ENVIRONMENT

       ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/share/icu/50.1.2/.  Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the
		 trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.

FILES

       The  following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for Normal-
       izationCorrections.txt.

       rfc3453_A_1.txt	   Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode version 3.2.0....

       rfc3454_B_1.txt	   Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing....

       rfc3454_B_2.txt	   Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of  code points when Normalization form NFKC is specified....

       rfc3454_C_X.txt	   Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for IDNA.

       NormalizationCorrections.txt
			   Contains the list of code points whose normalization has changed since Unicode Version 3.2.0.
