Hi,
In awk, Begin body is execute before file reading, so no fields is setting at this moment.

Regards.

Hello Elmassimo,

On a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk , /usr/xpg6/bin/awk , or nawk, this should work then.

EDIT: Also why not use print in spite of using BEGIN and END....

That print $1 is a field within awk and has nothing to do with the script's $1 (shell positional parameter).
