using awk
 

Hello,
I m confused a lil bit.

I am taking one variable in my script file which is an integer value.
Now, I want to use this value in awk command. How can I? Because when I take any variable in awk, it takes it as a local variable there only.

e.g,
I want to compare all emp's salary with some value.

awk -F":" '$2 > ValueToCompare {printf "%s \n",$0}' TCPCounterTemp.log > BumpingCounter.log;

This ValueToCompare I want to take as a variable which is declared outside awk. But I am not able to do it as I mentioned awk takes any variable as local there and initializes to zero.

Plllllease Helpppppppppp

Read the "info gawk" manual. Section 6.2 is called "Using Shell Variables in Programs".
I would highly recommend installing the gawk source and using the "make pdf" target to produce the printable documentation "Gawk: Effective Awk Programming".
