awk script throws invalid char expression
Hello there,

I am new to the awk scripting and getting the following error while running the script. Please can you advise me how to resolve this . Thanks

Code:
 ./sub_del_awk_lat.sh
awk: cmd. line:5: warning: escape sequence `\/' treated as plain `/'
awk: cmd. line:5: sed -n "/<sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/,/<\/sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/p" touch.xml > temp.xml
awk: cmd. line:5:                                                                        ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:5: sed -n "/<sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/,/<\/sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/p" touch.xml > temp.xml
awk: cmd. line:5:                                                                                   ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:6: value1=`cat temp.xml | grep $match_pattern2 | awk -F">|</" {
awk: cmd. line:6:        ^ invalid char '`' in expression


Script details are as follows:
=========================

Code:
awk 'match($0, /<sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/) {
match_pattern1="sn:MainSNwithBearerService"
match_pattern2="sn:accessRestrictionData"
match_pattern3="<sn:SuMSubscriberProfile"
sed -n "/<sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/,/<\/sn:SuMSubscriberProfile/p" touch.xml > temp.xml
value1=`cat temp.xml | grep $match_pattern2 | awk -F">|</" '{ print $2 }'`
if [ "value1" = "NORES" ]
then
value2=`cat temp.xml | grep $match_pattern3 | awk -F"\"" '{ print $2 }'`
value=`cat temp.xml | grep $match_pattern1 | awk -F">|</" '{ print $2 }'`
echo $value1
output="$value2 $value1 $value"
echo $output >> file
fi
}' touch.xml

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text 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

       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
