Most of them pointed out Quote problem. and suggested usage simillar to
this.

TOTSCH,DAVID
We have to get the shell to interpret it before awk receives it. Single
quotes tell the shell to keep it's hands off. So your code needs to
surround
what awk is to see with single quotes and the stuff outside the quotes is
interpreted by the shell.
awk '{ if (('$SHELL_Variable1' < $1) && ('$SHELL_Variable2' > $2))
print "something" }'
This looks like I put single quotes around $SHELL_Variable1, but in
reality,
'{ if ((' is quoted, so the shell replaces $SHELL_Variable1.

Really appreciate your kind answers.
