Pass a variable in awk command
spke="myvaribale" var="cidr" val=$azure_spoke2_vnet_cidr clp="azure_vnets"I am placing these variable in this command : I dont want to write this myvaribale in awk rather I want to use $spke variable there when I use directly in command its not working.
awk -v spke="$spke" -v var="$var" -v val="$val" -v clp="$clp" '/variable/ { cloudp=gensub(/(^variable[[:space:]]")(.*)(".*$)/,"\\2",$0) } /myvaribale[[:space:]]=/ { spoke=$1 } spoke==spke && $1==var && cloudp ~ clp { $0=gensub(/(^.*=[[:space:]]")(.*)(".*$)/,"\\1"val"\\3",$0) }1' 1 Answer
First, note that /regexp/ is shorthand for $0 ~ /regexp/.
In the $0 ~ /regexp/ form, you can replace /regexp/ (in which the thing between slashes is a string constant) by a computed regexp using string concatenation:
$0 ~ spke "[[:space:]]="where spke is the awk variable that you initialized on the command with -v spke="myvariable"
