The Mathcing code was just a general statement

Code:
$5 ~ /Match/ {
        if (NR==0) print "No data"
        else print "<tr>"
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
                print "<td>" $i"</td>"
        print "</tr>"
}

So say I want to check if Jack has any rent pending and if Yes then, send an email

Code:
$5 ~ /Jack/ {
        if (NR==0) print "No data"
        else print "<tr>"
        for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
                print "<td>" $i"</td>"
        print "</tr>"

His email address would be defined in the BEGIN section of awk
Code:
awk -F, '
        BEGIN{
            print "To: Jack@123.com"
}


So in reality, I have 10 users, and each users email address has been entered.

So I have 10 awk BEGIN, END Scripts each holdin the 10 users email addresses.

Requirement, only send email to the users who has rent pending
