Define a function like (c.f. man ksh):
Quote:
function varname { list ;}
varname () { list ;}
Define a function which is referenced by varname. . . .
list is your above awk script.
Call it and retrieve its result like
Code:
RES=$(varname filename)

The filename parameter is supplied as the function's positional p. $1, so $1 should designate the awk script's input stream.
