Hi,
I'd like to generate the following awk script, where an array of
number (such as 1,3 in the following example) should be taken from the
command line. I am not familiar with m4 to make this work especially
for an array in the command line argument.
Could anybody help show me a working m4 example to generate an awk
script like this? Thanks.
==============
BEGIN {
if(getline) {
key1 = $1 # These two lines should be expanded
key3 = $3 # according to the command line arguments
value = $10
seen_first = 1
}
}
{
if(key1==$1 && key3==$3) {
# The above line should be expanded
# according to the command line arguments
value = value "," $10
} else {
print key, value
key1 = $1 # This block should be expanded
key3 = $3 # according to the command line arguments
value = $10
}
}
END {
if(seen_first) {
print key1, key3, value
# The above line should be expanded
# according to the command line arguments
}
}
==============
