Full Discussion: Using variable inside awk
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using variable inside awk Post 302549648 by Corona688 on Tuesday 23rd of August 2011 02:11:57 PM

Code:
awk 'BEGIN { split("Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec", MON, "|"); for(N=1; N<=12; N++) I[MON[N]]=N; }
{ (rest of your code goes here) }'

Now you have an array MON where MON[1]="Jan", and an array I where I["Jan"]=1.

You've already been told "no". $Aug will pick a different field depending on what number Aug is. Variables don't work that way in awk. print Aug; will print 8. Print $Aug will print field number 8, whatever it is. I don't think you can solve your problem with -v since you can't go from a number to a variable name.

You can use a number as an array index, which is what I have done. Try my above solution, which builds arrays out of a string of months.
