Printing single quote in nawk in solaris2.8

[guest1]

Hi,

I was trying to create some datafile. How do you get a single quote after CA in that? When I give that it is throwing some error. Without that single quote it is working as normal.

Any idea?

echo |
nawk '{for (i=1; i <= 10; i++)
{printf &quot;CA's jose \n&quot;
}
}'

echo |
nawk -v apo=&quot;'&quot; '{for (i=1; i <= 10; i++)
{printf(&quot;CA%cs jose \n&quot;, apo)
}
}' vlad

I'm not shure if nawk supports octal/hexa representation of
ascii codes. If so, I prefer:

echo |
nawk '{for (i=0; i < 10; i++){
         print &quot;CA

\047

s jose"
      }'

Where \047 is octal for 39 - ascii code of '.

PS: I changed the for loop var
