Print Line

[frangac]

Hi All, PHV

How can I print the getline statement from the following:

awk -v opt=Restore_Chris -v PH='/raw_data/SB/repdir/Archive_Restore/'
'BEGIN{print "connect tcenh198 dsadmin \"\""}
/MTA0000001/{print "compRead "substr($1,0,length($1)-10),"META_DOCUMENT ",PH$2}
END {print "end"
system("/sbin/rm " opt)
cmd="/ixos/sw/econ/bin/dsclient ""<"" Restore_Chris_1 "

while(((cmd) | getline CMD) >0)
{
print CMD
}
close(cmd)
}
' Restore_Chris > Restore_Chris_1

Many Thanks
Chris

It looks to me like you are trying to both read from Restore_Chris_1 and write to it simultaneously, which is extremely confusing and won't work.

Why don't you ned your awk script at the point where it does a print "end" and then put the subsequent commands in plain shell after it?
