AWK: execute CURL on each line and parse result
12,915
You can use bash and avoid awk system
call:
grep "^[0-9]*$" lines | while read line; do
curl -s "http://foo.bar/some.php?id=$line" | awk 'do your parsing ...'
done

given an input stream with following lines:
123 456 789 098 ...
I would like to call
curl -s http://foo.bar/some.php?id=xxx
with xxx being the number for each line, and everytime let an awk script fetch some information from the curl output which is written to the output stream. I am wondering if this is possible without using the awk "system()" call in following way:
cat lines | grep "^[0-9]*$" | awk ' { system("curl -s " $0 \ " | awk \'{ #parsing; print }\'") }'
