You can assign values to AWK variables on the command line. Consult the man page for how AWK handles arguments of the form var=value.

It is not my intention to be rude, but after nearly 500 posts and nearly 7 years of membership, not having learned the basics does not reflect well. I realize that not everyone who seeks assistance is a professional administrator or programmer, but, still, this is a very fundamental question.

From nearly a year ago, one of your threads: https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...wrong-awk.html

Regards,
Alister

NAME
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 @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 SEE ALSO
