Hi

What about assigning the output to a variable if certain file exists.

Code:
bash-3.00$ awk -F: 'sub("^dict=", "") {for(j=1;j<NF;j++) system("test -f " "$j"/*12581.log)==0 { print $j }}' file.txt
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
bash-3.00$ 

need to assign the output of awk to a variable for further processing. the following part of the previous code needs to be merged to assign.

if [[ -s "$sPath"/*12581.log ]]; then
    FileName=`ls  "$sPath"/*12581.log |head -1`
fi

LKBIB(1)						      General Commands Manual							  LKBIB(1)

NAME

       lkbib - search bibliographic databases

SYNOPSIS

       lkbib [ -v ] [ -ifields ] [ -pfilename ] [ -tn ] key...

       It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION

       lkbib searches bibliographic databases for references that contain the keys key...  and prints any references found on the standard output.
       lkbib will search any databases given by -p options, and then a default database.  The default database is taken from the REFER environment
       variable  if it is set, otherwise it is /usr/dict/papers/Ind.  For each database filename to be searched, if an index filename.i created by
       indxbib(1) exists, then it will be searched instead; each index can cover multiple databases.

OPTIONS

       -v     Print the version number.

       -pfilename
	      Search filename.	Multiple -p options can be used.

       -istring
	      When searching files for which no index exists, ignore the contents of fields whose names are in string.

       -tn    Only require the first n characters of keys to be given.	Initially n is 6.

ENVIRONMENT

       REFER  Default database.

FILES

       /usr/dict/papers/Ind  Default database to be used if the REFER environment variable is not set.	filename.i Index files.
