awk built-in variable for input file
Hi guys,
Does awk have a built-in variable which I can use to display the input file it's currently reading?
I'm currently concatenating multiple files using awk and later on do some parsing. But for now, I want to add an extra column in the main output data file - basically putting in the file name it's currently reading.
E.g.
Input1.txt
brandon USA
sherley Russia
Input2.txt
Albert Alaska
Output.txt
brandon USA Input1.txt
sherley Russia Input1.txt
Albert Alaska Input2.txt
Thanks!

If the name of the File1 is in another file (for example, column 4 in File 3) then how can I pass this column 4 to the awk command.

NAME
trcs - convert text files from one codeset to other
SYNOPSIS
trcs -C | -l | -h
trcs [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset ] [ file ]...
DESCRIPTION
trcs is a program for translation of text files from one codeset to other. When exact translation is impossible it tries to make approxi-
mations. For example pseudographic characters are approximated by ASCII characters in codesets that have no pseudographic characters and
characters with diacritical marks are approximated by existing characters.
If the option -s or --gen-script is given trcs will generate simple script that invokes tr(1) This is useful if you want to include this in
your script or for faster conversion of many files.
If none of -C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is given each file will be read assuming it is coded with codeset input-codeset On standard
output it will be recoded so to use codeset output-codeset If there is no file given trcs will act as filter. Both input-codeset and out-
put-codeset are case insensitive and default to `cp1251'.
OPTIONS
-C, --copyright
Display copying conditions and warranty information.
-s, --gen-script
Generates conversion script for given input and output encodings instead to convert text files.
-l, --list
List all known codesets with their aliases.
-h, --help
Display this help and exit.
-f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset
Codeset of the source.
-f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset
Codeset of the output.
EXAMPLES
trcs -fcyrillic -t koi8-r letter.txt
Convert letter.txt from ISO-8859-5 (cyrillic) to KOI8-R and output the result on standard output.
trcs --from cp437 --to=mik --gen-script >ibm2mik
Generates script ibm2mik for converting from CP437 to MIK.
sh ibm2mik screen.txt
Convert screen.txt from CP437 to MIK. Output the result on standard output. Without parameters ibm2mik acts as filter.
