Hello, here is my issue - I am running a script with a while loop. I have an awk statement within the while loop that uses an incremented variable. the script does not like me to use a variable in the awk statement. Here is a snippet of the script where I am having the problem: ____________________________________ integer i=0 while (( ( i += 1 ) < $NUMTAB )) do TABNAME=$(awk 'NR==${i}' /backup/tables.txt) print "export_def_table DEV "$TABNAME" ~ecs/backup/"$TABNAME".exp" done ______________________________________ This part of the loop is giving me the error: TABNAME=$(awk 'NR==${i}' /backup/tables.txt) It doesn't like when I use ${i} in the awk statement. Can anyone help me with this?? Thanks!

Use double-quotes instead of single-quotes, and that will allow the shell to evaluate $i: awk "NR==${i}"

TABNAME=$(nawk -v i="${i}" 'NR==i' /backup/tables.txt)
