Full Discussion: PASS parameter to AWK
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers PASS parameter to AWK Post 51240 by zazzybob on Friday 14th of May 2004 06:56:41 AM

Parameters passed to AWK are stored in the ARGV array, which has ARGC elements.

Example: suppose foo.awk contains
Code:
BEGIN {
   for ( i = 0; i < ARGC; i++ )
   {
       print ARGV[i]
   }
}

Then executing
Code:
awk -f foo.awk 1 2 3

would print
Code:
awk
1
2
3

ARGV[0] is the awk command itself, and the other ARGV elements are the parameters passed.

Peace,
ZB
