Passing space seprated variables in awk

Hi,

How to pass space seprated variables in awk. (HP-UX, sh shell)

I have the problem like below:

Code:
var="Hello"
var2="Manu Batham"
echo $var2 | awk -v variable=${var} '{ printf "%s %s", variable, $1}'

and its output is:
Hello Manu

while output should be:
Hello Manu Batham

Please help me to accept it spaces as well.

Thanks,
Manu

SYNOPSIS
bool output_add_rewrite_var (string $name, string $value) DESCRIPTION

Note Calling this function will implicitly start output buffering if it is not active already. PARAMETERS
o $name - The variable name. o $value - The variable value. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 output_add_rewrite_var(3) example <?php output_add_rewrite_var('var', 'value'); // some links echo '<a href="file.php">link</a> <a href="http://example.com">link2</a>'; // a form echo '<form action="script.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="var2" /> </form>'; print_r(ob_list_handlers()); ?> The above example will output: <a href="file.php?var=value">link</a> <a href="http://example.com">link2</a> <form action="script.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="var" value="value" /> <input type="text" name="var2" /> </form> Array ( [0] => URL-Rewriter ) SEE ALSO
