As I said, the script actually seems to work but I was wondering if there was any way to suppress awk warnings? - other people will hopefully be using this script in production systems and I don't want them to see any warnings such as this...
Yes, I tried this before, unfortunately it did not have an effect.

That's great. I still need a symbol code variable with the backslashes for another line, so I have created two version of the variable - one with, one without. Thanks very much
