Linux / Unix: Awk Print Variable

In the awk programming language, you can use the print statement to output the value of a variable. For example:

#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {

  # assign a value to a variable

  myvar = "Hello, world!"

# print the value of the variable print myvar }

This script will print the string “Hello, world!” to the terminal.

You can also use the print statement to output the values of multiple variables, separated by commas:

#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {

  # assign values to variables

  myvar1 = "Hello"

  myvar2 = "world!"

# print the values of the variables print myvar1, myvar2 }

This script will print the string “Hello world!” to the terminal.
