awk seems to be the wrong tool for the job for this. grep would be more straightforward. Also, you don't need to run awk 9 times to extract 9 columns from 1 line, the shell is quite capable of splitting things by itself.
I'm trying to write a ksh script that uses awk, but I want to pass variables to awk. For example (not working):
if ];then
searchstr=$1
lsof -i | awk '{if($9~/SEARCHSTR/) print $2} SEARCHSTR=$searchstr'
else

fi

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
