Split file into multiple file using awk, but in date format

Question

I want to split a file into multiple files and save the file in date format.

Why doesn\'t this command work?

awk -v DATE= date \'+%d%m%Y\'-F\",\" \'N         


        

Answer 1

this should work

awk -F, -v date=$(date +%d%m%Y) 'NR>1{print > "Test_"date".CSV_"$1".csv"}' file

if not, try first

awk -v date=$(date +%d%m%Y) 'BEGIN{print date}'

to check whether date is correctly set as an awk variable.
