Thanks ,
well i used that and it works but in fact it's a little more complicated , i use another variable $REP :
awk '{ print "/dir1/dir2/"$REP"/"$0 }' file > newfile
and it fails with :
awk: Field $() is not correct.
The input line number is 1.
The source line number is 1.
the system doesn't understand the variable $REP
regards
christian

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are con-
sidered non-prime time hours. /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.
All lines beginning with an "*" are comments.
The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and
non-prime time hours, in the form:
current_year prime_start non_prime_start
The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form:
month/day company_holiday
Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs.
The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Example of the /etc/acct/holidays file.
