Is it possible to make use of c-shell variables in [g,n]awk scripts.
What I need to do some thing like this:
#!/bin/csh
set AWK=/usr/local/bin/gawk
set date=`date +%m/%d/%y`
# Now the awk script that uses $date:
$AWK -F: '{if ($3 == $date) {print $0}}' <source-file>
# End of shell script.
I checked with [g,n]awk. Only gawk can access environment variables,
but I do not want to do "setenv date= ..", just "set date= ..". Any
suggestions? Or, am I stuck with using setenv?
Thanks in advance.
