How to insert HTML code with awk?

Question

I am trying to insert some HTML code for my Telldus script page. I want create a link-image. I have tried a lot of different alternatives for this code but nothing works.

AWK CODE to generate off.php

# awk '{print a$1b$1d}' a='<a href="' b='-off.html">' d='<img src='OFF.png'></a><br> ' off1.php > off.php

Result for off.php

# more off.php
<a href="Lampor-off.html">Lampor<img src=OFF.png></a><br>

Result I want for off.php

<a href="Lampor-off.html"><img src=OFF.png></a>Lampor<br>

So, I want the image to be a link instead of the word "Lampor".

Please post sample Input and expected output more clearly as it is not clear. — RavinderSingh13

What's the purpose of variables like a='<a href="' instead of just hard-coding the fixed values in the print statement? — Ed Morton
