I would probably say less awkward in awk, since awk reads each line in a file automatically where in a shell script you must read each line individually in a loop.
awk won't help much here I think since there's not easy way to pass variables to a system(). If I had to I'd do something like: awk '{ print $0 }'< file_with_args | xargs -n1 ls Ugly. What did you have in mind? -- -ckm
