How to avoid "Too many arguments" error, when passing a long String literal as input to a command?
Hi,
I am using awk here.
Inside an awk script, I have a variable which contains a very long XML data in string format (500kb).
I want to pass this data (as argument) to curl command using system function.
But getting Too many arguments error due to length of string data(payloadBlock).
I have tried the below ways, but both error out with code: 127 (Too many arguments)
Awk-extracted value inside the variable(payloadBlock) looks like:
payloadBlock="<?xml?><root> ... ... (lot of xml data) ... ... </root>";
Could you advise any better way to do this? NOTE: I have to invoke curl from within awk only, as I am computing this string data inside awk script.
