Hi Tim, Do these lines help you?
>echo Hello | awk '{print "\${MID}"}' awk: warning: escape sequence `\$' treated as plain `$' ${MID} >echo Hello | awk '{print "${MID}"}' ${MID}Unfortunately I have no idea whether $ should be escaped or not. I was unable to find an appropriate line in the gawk info pages.
