Hi All,

How do we call a method existing in another file inside awk.

After matching a pattern i want to call a method secureCopy that exists in another file, but method not getting called:

ls -l |
awk  -v var2=$servername -v var1=$srcserverpath -v var3=$tgtpath '
/File19112009Name[0-9]+\.xml$/ {
   printf ("abhinav");
   printf ($NF);
 >> method call-->>  secureCopy var2 var1 $NF var3 $NF;
   printf ("dikshit");
}'

Use the system command, something like:

system("secureCopy " var2 " " var1 " " $NF " " var3 " " $NF )
