Hello ! I have a little question about awk (nawk). If I want to run a unix-command in an awk-script, how do I get the output into a variable. I tried getline < system(unixcommand) system(unixcommand | getline) but it is no good of course. system returns 0 or 1 and not the output of the unixcommand. Hope you can answer this one. Thanks in advance ! ezra at daimi.aau.dk
