Step 1: verify that the $awkcmd variable has the right data in it. i.e.,
should show nawk.
Then verify that nawk is in the PATH variable of the process running the code:
Do that before playing with the awk code itself.
The awk code is clunky but looks, eh.., reasonable maybe, for nawk. If you get no output then you must rule out or find an error message about nawk not found, or if $awkcmd is not assigned you will get a shell error because the shell will try to run the awk code which is gibberish to the shell.
You need to start looking from the very first line, IMO. Keep ruling out problems as you go forward. Do not simply jump ahead 30 lines.

Hi,
I've searched this site and the wider web and have not found anything (that I can understand..) that helps me.
I've used shell commands in awk fine in the past, the difference is that I want to pass the shell command a field variable within awk from the current input.
A simple example... (3 Replies)
I want to create an awk script that performs different things on different files.
For example, for files with extension .ry I might do something, but for .xt I do something else, and another things on .zc files.
How can I do this in one awk script? (3 Replies)

Hi,
Can someone please guide me how to combine the following two awk calls in one?
I noticed that it is very often situation for me, and I think that it can be replaced with one awk call.
The question is more general, not the exact one.

shtool-path - GNU shtool command dealing with shell path variables
SYNOPSIS
shtool path [-s|--suppress] [-r|--reverse] [-d|--dirname] [-b|--basename] [-m|--magic] [-p|--path path] str [str ...]
DESCRIPTION
This command deals with shell $PATH variables. It can find a program through one or more filenames given by one or more str arguments. It
prints the absolute filesystem path to the program displayed on "stdout" plus an exit code of 0 if it was really found.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-s, --suppress
Supress output. Useful to only test whether a program exists with the help of the return code.
-r, --reverse
Transform a forward path to a subdirectory into a reverse path.
-d, --dirname
Output the directory name of str.
-b, --basename
Output the base name of str.
-m, --magic
Enable advanced magic search for ""perl"" and ""cpp"".
-p, --path path
Search in path. Default is to search in $PATH.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
awk=`shtool path -p "${PATH}:." gawk nawk awk`
perl=`shtool path -m perl`
cpp=`shtool path -m cpp`
revpath=`shtool path -r path/to/subdir`
HISTORY
The GNU shtool path command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1998 for Apache. It was later taken
over into GNU shtool.
