Problem using AWK

Shell Programming and Scripting
1 
add service authenticationserver*$serviceName -connectorType $connectorType -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain *$domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password -iconPath $iconPath -description $description

for $(variables) i will pass the parameters

every time i will skip one attribute and execute the command

example looks like this
In the first iteration authenticationserver $serviceName should be skipped

add service -connectorType connectorType -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain  $domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password -iconPath $iconPath -description $description

in the second iteration -connectorType $connectorType should be skipped and so on

add service authenticationserver $serviceName -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain  $domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password -iconPath $iconPath -description $description

i tried by using the awk and cut

cat kalyan.txt | grep -v `awk  -F"-" '{ print $10}' /tmp/kalyan.sh`

nothing is displayed

cat kalyan.sh | awk  -F"-"  '{ print $10}' 

# awk  -F"-" '{ print $2}' /tmp/kalyan.sh
authenticationserver $serviceName

my assumption is to catch the attribute and negate in the above command

I'm not sure I understand the requirement ...

This code:

p='authenticationserver*$serviceName -connectorType $connectorType -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain *$domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password  -iconPath $iconPath -description $description'

awk -v p=$p 'BEGIN {
  n = split( p, t )
  for ( i = 0; ++i <= n; )  
    if ( t[i - 1] ~ /^-/ && t[i - 1] = t[i - 1] FS t ) delete t
  for ( i = 0; ++i <= n; ) t && t[++c] = t  
  print "add service", p	 
  for ( i = 0; ++i <= c; ) {
   for ( j = 0; ++j <= c; ) {
    if ( j == 1 ) printf "add service%s", FS
	if ( j == i ) continue
    if ( t[j] ) 
	  printf "%s", ( t[j] FS ) 	 
	   }
    print x	   
	 } 
   }'

Produces the following output:

add service authenticationserver*$serviceName -connectorType $connectorType -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain *$domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password  -iconPath $iconPath -description $description
add service -connectorType $connectorType -ipAddress $ipAddress -port $port -domain *$domain -authenticationType $authenticationType -connector $connector -userName $userName -password $password -iconPath $iconPath -description $description

Don't quite understand the requirement. Anyway, the below code will give you an idea:

awk '
iteration==0 && / authenticationserver[*][$]serviceName/ {
	sub("authenticationserver[*][$]serviceName", "")
	print
	++iteration
	next
}
iteration==1 && / -connectorType [$]connectorType/ {
	sub("-connectorType [$]connectorType", "")
	++iteration
	print
}' kalyan.txt
