Awk parsing with variable 2

[jmc0031]

Hi,

I would like to parse a fic with awk variable but i have a problem

My FIC :
Test1 1100
Test2 0011
Test3 011A
Test4 BB23

The result that i want :
Test1 1100

A script that work great :

awk '$2 ~ /^11/ {print $0}'

But i want to use a variable like HEXA=11
This not work like i want :

awk '$2 ~ var {print $0}' var=$HEXA

the result is
Test1 1100
Test2 0011
Test3 011A
and i want just : Test1 1100

I would like to filter the 2 first digit with my variable.

I hope my problem is clear ...

Thanks

What about this ?
awk '$2 ~ /^'$HEXA'/'

Hope This Helps, PH.

Or:

awk '$2 ~ var' var="^$HEXA"
