read the variable with awk
final.txt file contains
Code:
SY10020021      SY10023077      3199 4 803.815  11884 4 1825.22 2.2707

say
Code:
set FIRSTLINE = SY10020021
set SECONDLINE=SY10023077

cat final.txt | awk '{if($1==${FIRSTLINE} & $2==${SECONDLINE}){print $9}else{print "ll"}}'..............this should give me value 2.2707

I dont want to replace [ $1==${FIRSTLINE} & $2==${SECONDLINE] part within the awk script.

Please help me with a correct script.
