Sorry guys not specifically solaris related but i cant find any info
ANYwhere about this.

I want to set a shell variable in a script but with awk.

I can find so many pages about setting awk variables with shell variables

e.g

BasePatch=115275-12
EPatchRev=`nawk '/^Patch: '"$BasePatch"'/ {print $2}'

BUT i want to set a shell variable with the $2 or $1 from an awk print
statement.

I have tried this which i saw somewhere but it doesnt work.

echo $line | awk -F- '{ system( "BasePatch=" $1 ) ; system( "Rev=" $2 )}'

Im wanting to set vairable BasePatch and Rev in the shell script in one
awk line.

Thanks
