Shell Programming and Scripting

Malcomex999, sorry, your method doesn't work, shell says:

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

for each file.

as always.... if on Solaris, use either /usr/bin/nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk.
To pass shell variable to awk/nawk:

Code:

nawk -v FNT="${FileNameTemplate}" '{print FNT}' $file
OR
nawk '{print FNT}' FNT="${FileNameTemplate}" $file

Yes, it is Solaris... I will try this and answer ASAP, thank you!

Hi vgersh99!
Nothing changed, depending on position of "-v ..." group in command line I have two states: one, file is printed on display and then awk stays in input mode and repeats all input to display, and second - syntax error.

By the word, even when I use not a variable but a value (-v FNT="ID_Action_DD_MM_YY"), situation is the same.

I've found my mustake, I always used $ with a variable name in awk script. Without it everything works fine, thank you all!

The case is closed!
