Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Regex within IF statement in awk Post 302805973 by Ophiuchus on Sunday 12th of May 2013 01:07:38 AM

Hello,

Thank spacebar/alister/hanson for the answers.

I've tried but only the option to include the complete string literally inside the
"//" worked.

I mean, the only way that worked for me is (as spacebar solution):
Code:
if (Z !~ /string 1-(15|20|45|70)-string 2/)

I'm not sure why the other 2 solutions doesn't work. I'm using Cygwin.

The issue is that I was trying to replace "string 1-" and "-string 2" with variables because they are very long strings in the real code.

Thanks for the help.
