passing variables into awk

[massivr]

Hi All.
Sorry for this (hope not too much) trivial question.
I'm running awk using awk -f PROGRAM.awk SOURCE.tr but i need to assign, via Konsole, a value to a particular variable A present into my script. How can i do this?!
I know there are other threads similar but i did'nt understood them at all!

thanks in advance!

In your awk man page have a look at the -v option.

Hope This Helps, PH.
