Read a CSV file inside awk script (CLOSED) - csv

Question

I want to use an AWK script without typing in the terminal the CSV file and instead, call that file from inside my code.
Current Input terminal:
./script.awk file.csv
Desired Input Terminal:
./script.awk
On the other hand, here is the script I have done so far:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN{print"Filtered Elements:"}
BEGIN{FS=","}
{ if ($8~/.*5.*/ && $2~/.*Sh.*/ && ($3~/.*i.*/ || $4~/.*s.*/)) { print } }
{ if ($3~/.*ra.*/ && $7~/.*18.*/ && $13~/.*r.*/) { print } }
{ if ($5~/.*7.*/ && $2~/.*l.*/ && ($4~/.*Fi.*/ || $12~/20.*/)) { print } }
} **file.csv**
I aslo tried to do this:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN{print"Filtered Elements:"}
BEGIN{FS=","}
BEGIN{
while (getline < file.csv > 0) {
{ if ($8~/.*5.*/ && $2~/.*Sh.*/ && ($3~/.*i.*/ || $4~/.*s.*/)) { print } }
{ if ($3~/.*ra.*/ && $7~/.*18.*/ && $13~/.*r.*/) { print } }
{ if ($5~/.*7.*/ && $2~/.*l.*/ && ($4~/.*Fi.*/ || $12~/20.*/)) { print } }
}
But either ways an error occurred.
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Your second example is a correct getline loop, except that the file path should be quoted to be treated as a string (and not a variable): while (getline < "file.csv" > 0) #....
Alternatively, you can set the script arguments (including input files and variables) by manipulating ARGV and ARGC in a BEGIN block:
BEGIN {
ARGV[1] = "file.csv"
ARGC = 2
}
{
# commands here process file.csv as normal
}
Running this as ./script is the same as if you set the argument with the shell (like ./script file.csv).

Answer 2

An awk script isn't a command you call, it's a set of instructions interpreted by awk where awk IS a command you call. What you're trying to do apparently is write a Unix command that's implemented as a shell script which includes a call to awk, e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
awk '
{ print "foo", $0 }
' 'file.csv'
Store that in a file named stuff (not stuff.awk or stuff.sh or anything else with a suffix), and then call it as ./stuff or just stuff if the current directory is in your PATH.
Though you technically can use a shebang to call awk directly, don't do it - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/61002754/1745001.
