hello,
is there a better way to pass
commandline argument(s) than this is:
#!/bin/rc
echo  awk '''$3=='$1'{print $2}'''   clade  | rc 
#-eof-

thanks,
++pac.

i have no idea what you're trying to do, but i don't
see how what you wrote is different from

awk '$3=='^$1^' {print $2}' clade

or

awk -v 's='^$1 '$3==s {print $2}' clade

the latter works even when $1 is a string
instead of a number.
