Hey,

I have the following for-loop:

Bash:
for i in 0_bla_*
do
        cat $i |awk -v filename=$filename '{if (NR>11) {anz=anz+1}}END{printf("%3$s %1$s %2$s \n", NR-1, anz, filename)}' > $i.dat
done

I want to pipe the filename from cat to awk. But it doesn't work. Has anyone an idea?

Thanks for any help,
Ergy
