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.

Ralf
