Re: [bug-gawk] Is there a way to assign to a hash via the -v option

[david kerns]

how about this:

awk -v l="10,20" 'BEGIN{split(l,x,","); print x[1]; print x[2]}'

Hi, I want to assign to a hash via the -v option. But the following
does work. Is there anyway I can do it with -v?

$ awk -v "x[1]=10" -v "x[2]=20" 'BEGIN{print x[1]; print x[2]}'
awk: fatal: `x[1]' is not a legal variable name
