awk and arrays

    Hi everyone,

    I am having a problem with awk.

    I have a file of which I want to print only certain lines.

    The lines to print are determined by an array.

    so something like

    for runs in ${options[@]}
    do
    awk 'NR==$runs' '{getline; print $0}' myfile
    done


    in options would be something like {1 2 3}, which would mean that in this case I want to print the 1st, 2nd and 3rd line of myfile

    This code does not work, it does absolutely nothing.
    Does anyone have an idea?
