Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting want to pass parameters to awk script from shell script Post 302468426 by script_op2a on Tuesday 2nd of November 2010 05:18:38 PM
Old 11-02-2010
ok so I modified my shell script like this:
-------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Program ....... dups_filter.sh

pos="$1"
filename="$2"


awk -v key="$pos" -v infile="$filename" '{FS="";split($NF,a,"_"); site=a[3];keysite=key "_" site;
if (b[keysite]<=a[4]a[5]) {b[keysite]=a[4]a[5];c[keysite]=$0;}}
END{for (i in b) print c[i]}' infile
#end of .sh program
---------------------------------------------------------------

I have the .sh script in the same directory as the infile dups.txt.

I execute from the command line like:
./rem_dups.sh 1 dups.txt > no_dups.txt

and I get the error
awk: Cannot find or open file infile.
The source line number is 3.

Could somebody help me with this confusion?
