Hi admins,

i've a script question:

here is the script i would expect to work (but it doesn't):

for var in `cat file`
do
        awk 'BEGIN { i=0 }

        $1/^$var/ { printf("%s vaut %1.1f\n",$1,$2)
                      i=$2+i }

        END { printf("%s, %1.1f\n",$1,i) } ' volume

done

Well, if i put a string instead of $var, it works fine, but with $var, it
doesn't work .

any ideas ?

rgds,
