Hi, I have a small piece of awk code (see below) that generates random numbers.
The code works fine and generates alphanumeric numbers like AM329_0001, AM329_0009 etc etc. The problem is the numbers generated are not always unique. In other words I want a list of non-duplicate random numbers, no repeats. I came across some code and tried adapting it to my example. However, I can't seem to get it to work. My attempt is as follows:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
