         /\[.*\]/ {gsub(/[][]/,""); SECTION=$0}         # find the respective section between "[" and "]"
         $1 == EN && SECTION==SC {print $NF}            # if entry found in the respective section, output it
        '  EN="$ENTRY" SC="$SECT" file                  # make shell vars to awk vars and use "file" for input
