:Can it be done? Is there a way I can address a
:command line argument within the script?
1. Sure -- just run it through the awk-to-perl translator.
2. Actually, gawk and nawk will also let you get at them, although
awk won't. Check your man page; if all you have is awk, return
to step one. You might even find some other features there. :-)
