print single quote 1

AHinMaine · Mar 26, 2003

this is kicking my butt.... this shoudn't be so hard.

I've even been digging through the awk book and I can't figure it out.

how do I do this:

Code:

command | awk '{print $1&quot;,'&quot;$2&quot;'&quot;}'

so that I can get the result:

Code:

field1,'field2'

Escaping it with a single, double, or triple backslashes doesn't work. Nothing I've tried works, for that matter. Can anyone help? --

Try..
[tt]
command | awk '{print $1 ",\047" $2 "\047" }'
[/tt]
