awk -v issue in Sun Solaris
Hi,
awk -v is having issue in sun solaris, however the same works fine in HP Superdome. Pls advise what to do, while executing below command in SunOS.

echo "this is saurabh"|awk -v a="SAURABH" '{ print a }'

Use nawk.

There should be no reason to use the legacy awk binary instead of nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, however, should you really want to do it, here is the syntax it expects:
Code:
echo "this is saurabh"|awk '{ print a }' a="SAURABH"
