Question passing coloumn value to system function in awk

Hi all,

I have a file which contain data like
Code:
1|2009-12-12
2|2010-02-28
3|2009-02-29

i have to validate that second coloumn have proper date

i tried like

Code:
awk -F "|" ' !system("touch -d $2 file1 2> /dev/null" ) '

but its not printing any thing

but when i try using hard coded value it works
Code:
 awk 'BEGIN{if(!system("touch -d 2009-12-23 file1 2> /dev/null")) print "okay"; else print "not valid"}'
okay
 
 awk 'BEGIN{if(!system("touch -d 2009-02-29 file1 2> /dev/null")) print "okay"; else print "not valid"}'
 
not valid

XML::LibXML::RelaxNG(3) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   XML::LibXML::RelaxNG(3)

NAME
XML::LibXML::RelaxNG - RelaxNG Schema Validation SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML; $doc = XML::LibXML->new->parse_file($url); $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( location => $filename_or_url ); $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( string => $xmlschemastring ); $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( DOM => $doc ); eval { $rngschema->validate( $doc ); }; DESCRIPTION
The XML::LibXML::RelaxNG class is a tiny frontend to libxml2's RelaxNG implementation. Currently it supports only schema parsing and document validation. METHODS
new $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( location => $filename_or_url ); $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( string => $xmlschemastring ); $rngschema = XML::LibXML::RelaxNG->new( DOM => $doc ); The constructor of XML::LibXML::RelaxNG may get called with either one of three parameters. The parameter tells the class from which source it should generate a validation schema. It is important, that each schema only have a single source. The location parameter allows to parse a schema from the filesystem or a URL. The string parameter will parse the schema from the given XML string. The DOM parameter allows to parse the schema from a pre-parsed XML::LibXML::Document. Note that the constructor will die() if the schema does not meed the constraints of the RelaxNG specification. validate eval { $rngschema->validate( $doc ); }; This function allows to validate a (parsed) document against the given RelaxNG schema. The argument of this function should be an XML::LibXML::Document object. If this function succeeds, it will return 0, otherwise it will die() and report the errors found. Because of this validate() should be always evaluated. AUTHORS
