Well, first of all, there's man pages and info online documentation that is consulted again and again, even by experienced IT people. Fora like this are willing to give you hints and help when you're stuck.

For above question, consider using either of the examples:
Code:
myResult=$(awk -F"<TAB>" -v lookupVal="$luVal" '$1 == lookupVal { print $2 }' "$inputFile")

<TAB> stands for a single <TAB> character (not sure if ALL awks accept the "\t" notation), and the deprecated backticks have been replaced by the recommended $(...) command substitution syntax.
