Thanks Scrutinizer. Let me try that out

---------- Post updated at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:12 PM ----------

Hi,
I tried the script below:

Code:
 
 #!/bin/ksh
ls app-*-imp-*.txt | awk '{$NF="*.txt"}!A[$0]++' FS=- OFS=- |
while read pattern
do
  for i in $pattern
  do
    echo "processing file $i"
  done &
done

I am getting the error below. I am using Sun Solaris box.

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
       igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

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
