awk arrays - compare value in second column to variable
Hello,

I am trying to redirect files to a directory by using a config file. The config files is as such:

Code:
xxxxxx,ID,PathToDirectory
xxxxxx,ID2,PathToDirectory2

and so on...

I have a variable that should match one of these IDs. I want to load this config file into an awk array, and then parse trhough it to find the record and then use the PathToDirectory to copy my file to it.

This is what I have:

Code:
awk -v ak2=$AK202 -F "," '{  configfile[NR] = $0   }
                  END { for(i = 1; i <= NR; i++) { if (configfile[i]=ak2) print configfile[i]  }  } ' $INPUTFILE

Any thoughts? My idea is to fill the array, and then compare my AK202 variable to the second column, store the third as the destination directory.

Regards!
