You definitely don't need to be perfect nor fluent in English as this is an international site and erveryone in here is aware of possible language barriers and thus deploys maximum tolerance. Still you should target for best depiction of your problem in terms of precision and details.

so i'm asking is that any method for 2 awk share same variable, instate of create new file as a variable.
