line numbers are different there....not in order

so what ever the numbers are there it should display.

i did some work but as a normal commands its working.

like

Code:

export param=abc

awk -F"," -v searchStr=$param '{for(idx=1;idx<=NF; ++idx) {if($idx == searchStr) {print $0;}}}' y.txt

output coming as :

Code:

1 abc,def,ghj
4 tmp,tmop,abc,pkl

which is expected and thats what i want.

but

when i execute the same in sh file where i pass the parameter to search as abc, which is getting consider as $1,

the above command print $0 in awk is getting messed up.

not sure if thre is any other way as i want to execute in some function by passing the parameter.

its like

Code:

./ck.sh abc

content as :
param =$1

awk -F"," -v searchStr=$param '{for(idx=1;idx<=NF; ++idx) {if($idx == searchStr) {print $0;}}}' y.txt

the output is not working as print $0 is messed up there. with $1, $0 i guess.

there is space between the first column i.e. number and rest are comma separated strings in that line.
