Substitute variable inside nawk
Hi,

I need to set "prd" in the below command to a unix variable

Code:
nawk '/^#/ {next} FNR==NR {prd[$0];next} !($0 in prd)'

So, this is what i did

Code:
fname=prd   // unix shell variable

nawk -v fname=$fname '/^#/ {next} FNR==NR {fname[$0];next} !($0 in fname)'

But the value of fname i.e "prd" is not getting substituted in the command.

Can you tell me why ?

Code:
OS: SunOS mymac 5.10 Generic_150400-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220
