Thanks But i want it in awk and not echo as i have 3 files here.Lets say a.sh, b.sh an temp.sh
I want to write command in a.sh so that it fetches data from temp.sh and write it to b.sh (a.sh -> temp -> b.sh)

contents of temp.sh is somethings like this:
printf("[%1,s]","R10007",);

i have to read this line using awk and write it to b.sh as below:
awk 'BEGIN {printf("%1s","R10007");}'

So that i can run b.sh and print this line(its my requirement)
As of now i was able to print :- awk BEGIN {printf("%1s","R10007");}
I can't print '

can unhelp me with this>?

Code:
> awk 'BEGIN{print "\047"}'
'
