Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all
I have got a file digits.data containing the following data
1 3 4
2 4 9
7 3 1
7 3 10

I am writing a script that will pass an argument from C-shell to nawk command. But it seems the values in the nawk comman does not get set. the program does not print no values out. Here is the script run_odd

#!/bin/csh
set var1 = 0
set var2 = 5
nawk '{rl[1]=R1;rl[2]=R2; rr=2-($2%2); if($1>=rl[rr]){print rl[rr]}}' R1=$var1 R2=$var2


I use the following command to execute it
cat digits.data | run_odd

The script is suppose to print out the value of rl[rr] if the first field of digits.data file is >0 and the second filed is an odd number OR if the first field $1>5 and the second field is an even number.

Why does the variables in the nawk not get set?
Thank you.

You forgot to place the first parameter at the end of the awk command:

Code:

nawk '{rl[1]=R1;rl[2]=R2; rr=2-($2%2); if($1>=rl[rr]){print rl[rr]}}' R1=$var1 R2=$var2 $1

I should place the initialization of the array in the BEGIN section:

Code:

nawk -v R1=$var1 -v R2=$var2 'BEGIN{rl[1]=R1;rl[2]=R2}{rr=2-($2%2); if($1>=rl[rr]){print rl[rr]}}' $1

Regards

it worked alright thank you so much Franklin52.
