Hi dotran,
Note that vgersh99 suggested using the awk utility (not the non-existent BEGIN utility).
And, awk is perfectly capable of reading files without creating a pipeline using cat to double the number of processes running and triple the number of bytes read and written to read your input file.

Please look more closely at what vgersh99 suggested and try what he suggested.

OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
