Help: How to convert this bash+awk script in awk script only?
This is the final first release of the dynamic menu generator for pekwm (WM).
Code:
#!/bin/bash

function param_val {
    awk "/^${1}=/{gsub(/^${1}="'/,""); print; exit}' $2
}
 
echo "Dynamic {" 
for CF in `ls -c1 /usr/share/applications/*.desktop`
do
    name=$(param_val Name $CF)

    executable=$(param_val Exec $CF)

    icon=$(param_val Icon $CF)

    categories=$(param_val Categories $CF | awk -F ";" '{print $1}')

    echo " Entry = \"$name\" { Actions = \"Exec $executable\" }"

done
echo "}"

Someone could help to convert this script on awk only?
While maintain the same clearity as now with this hybrid combination of bash+awk?

Note:
I decide to split it for maintain the discussion more clear, with an initial problem and with a final end.
So now i ask only one question each time.
