awk problem

[parbhani]

Hi all,

I am using awk on Solaris. The simple command I am using is,

awk -v var1=1 '{print var1 }' databases

where databases is a file in current directory.

I get error,

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

What/where is the error ?
I have used similiar syntax with awk on AIX.
Please help.

Cheers

Try using nawk instead of awk

Hi:

Try using nawk and your test script should work.
