excuting saved awk script from command line 2

[demis001]

I have a problem of feeding input file to saved awk script.

I want to save awk scirpt to a file and feed the file name from command line but do not work.
test.awk
---------------------------------------------
awk "{$1~/query|seq/}{a[$1]=$2}{print a["query"]"\t"a["seq"]"\t"}'
-------------------------------------------------------
chmod +x test.awk
$ ./test.awk inputefile
It doesn't work!!
if I do the following it will work
--------------------------------------------------
awk "{$1~/query|seq/}{a[$1]=$2}{print a["query"]"\t"a["seq"]"\t"}'inputfile
$./test.awk

But I don't want to edit the file every time I change the inputfile name

test.awk:
awk '{$1~/query|seq/}{a[$1]=$2}{print a["query"]"\t"a["seq"]"\t"}' $*

Hope This Helps, PH.

Another way:

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{
    $1~/query|seq/
    a[$1]=$2
    print a["query"]"\t"a["seq"]"\t"
}

No need for braces around each line of code since they are all going to be executed for every line of input anyway.
