I have an awk script which is called by:
awk -f myawkfile.awk arguments
The awk script is called into my bash script using the same mentioned call.
Can I, instead of calling the awk script declare it as a function in my bash
script. I thought it would be easy by writing an awk in front and back
ticking the whole code, then to assign a function name to call it at will.
Somehow it doesnt do the trick.
I am trying to do this because I don't want my script to have dependency on another script.
And I am not the one who wrote the awk script. It takes a file as input , does some
stuff and gives back the modified file which is used in my script.
