Hi Rayson,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried using -v to pass variables to awk, but it is not working correctly. I think it's because my script requires all variables to be escaped and I don't know how to pass the escape symbol
correctly.

line2=$(awk -v "task_id=$SGE_TASK_ID" 'NR==task_id' "/myPath/ fileList.txt" )
echo \$line2

has a blank output, but so does

line2=$(awk -v "task_id=\$SGE_TASK_ID" 'NR==task_id' "/myPath/ fileList.txt"
)
echo \$line2

Can you give me any insight into passing the escape sign or why I am needing
to escape all the variables in my script?

Thanks,
Sara
