Because they are different:

Code:
zsh-4.3.4% awk 'BEGIN {
quote>   tst["23"]
quote>   tst["\42"20+3"\42"]
quote>   for (k in tst)
quote>     print k
quote> }'
23
"23"

If you want them equal:

Code:
zsh-4.3.4% awk 'BEGIN {
quote>   tst["\42"23"\42"]
quote>   tst["\42"20+3"\42"]
quote>   for (k in tst)
quote>     print k
quote> }'
"23"

And I suppose you need just:

Code:
zsh-4.3.4% awk 'BEGIN {
quote>   tst[23]
quote>   tst[20+3]
quote>   for (k in tst)
quote>     print k
quote> }'
23

Thanks ALOT I guess I got confused and frustrated. I was testing it wrong. I will try it on my script.

It's working! Can't thank you enough. No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get it going.

Thanks again.
