Concatenating awk fields with variable
Hi,

I am trying to do this:-
Code:
FILE=application.log
PID=12345

FILE=`echo $FILE | awk -F "." '{print $1 "$PID" $2}'`

echo $FILE
application$PIDlog

I need the output to be application12345.log but I am not sure how to get the $PID variable into the output. I have tried various things but not getting very far!

Any help appreciated!

Many thanks
Simon
