Shell Programming and Scripting

How to pass a parameter in system function
e.g system(script parameter)
i want to run a shell script along with a parameter

A sample,

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
echo "Using $@ arguments to execute the awk"
echo 1 2 3 | awk -v cmd=$1 -v From=$2 -v To=$3  '{ system(cmd" "From" "To ) }

Thanks

Please try this,

Code:

echo 1 | awk 'BEGIN {jobid="/tmp/test.txt"} { system ( "echo "jobid ) ; system ("cat " jobid)}'

Code:

awk  -v fname="/tmp/filename"  -v cmd=$cmdname" '{system(cmd" "fname)}'

Is this same as that of your earlier post?
