I do: my_sort files.asc > new_file.asc and then gawk -f file.awk -v sampl=T new_file.asc to get what I want.
how can I do the same in a single command with a pipe (and not generating the new_file.asc) ?
my_sort files.asc | gawk -f file.awk -v sampl=T
You need to tell gawk to read from the standard input instead of a file so try this: my_sort files.asc | gawk -f file.awk -v sampl=T -
