Have your awk output commands for the shell and pipe that into sh.
This one doesn't work because, it seems, that sh will only execute once the output from my aScript.py is finished. aScript.py runs continuously. I found the solution with the following:
Hi,
i am new to awk. I am using csv2pipe script(shown below)
BEGIN { FS=SUBSEP; OFS="|" }

Hello,
I've written an awk one-liner to parse a stream of real-time data. I invoke a program that gives me output from which I extract a few columns, perform some simple calculations, and then stream that data into a portal using an http string. It's tricky because I have to run it every second... (2 Replies)
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSuUser(Contributed Perl DocumPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr(3)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr - Use 4-argument "substr" instead of writing "substr($foo, 2, 6) = $bar".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages the use of "substr()" as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of "substr()" be used instead.
substr($something, 1, 2) = $newvalue; # not ok
substr($something, 1, 2, $newvalue); # ok
The four-argument form of "substr()" was introduced in Perl 5.005. This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly
specifies an earlier version of Perl (e.g. "use 5.004;").
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
SEE ALSO
"substr" in perlfunc (or "perldoc -f substr").
