- Using -v (The best way, most portable)
It uses the-v
option: (P.S. use a space after -v
or it will be less portable. E.g., awk -v var=
not awk -vvar=
)variable="line one\nline two"
awk -v var="${variable}" 'BEGIN {print var}'
line one
line two
This should be compatible with most awk
and variable is available in the BEGIN
block as well:If you have multiple variables:
awk -v a="${var1}" -v b="${var2}" 'BEGIN {print a,b}'
