Catching a variable

[BIS]

Hallo All,

Don't know if this is possible, but here we go. I am trying to catch a string to use later in an awk script.

# Catch subject
/^Subject/ { $0 = KeepThis ; next}
# Rewrite subject
/^Subject/ { $0 = "Subject: NEW"
print; next}
.
.
.
print <original_subject>KeepThis</original_subject>

But this does not work, it prints literally 'KeepThis' and the #Rewrite subject seems to be ignored. Could someone refresh my tired mind?

Hi

[gray]# Catch subject[/gray]
/^Subject/ { [red]KeepThis = $0[/red] } [gray]# [maroon]no next here[/maroon][/gray]
[gray]# Rewrite subject[/gray]
/^Subject/ { $0 = "Subject: NEW"
print; next}
[gray].
.
.[/gray]
print [red]"[/red]<original_subject>[red]"[/red]KeepThis[red]"[/red]</original_subject>[red]"[/red]
