How can I convert the prefix to uppercase (toupper) using printf in awk? Sorry, awk is not my strong suit.
I tried using a bash builtin ${string^^} but it doesn't work within the awk print.

Suggestion 1: use awk's toupper (respect. tolower) functions
printf("%s%s%s=(\"%s\")\n", "'"$prefix"'",vn, toupper($2), $3);Suggestion 2: create a separate prefix variable all uppercase (not tested, ymmv)
local prefix=${2}
local prefix_upper=${2^^}
[...]
printf("%s%s%s=(\"%s\")\n", "'"$prefix_upper"'",vn, $2, $3);
The first suggestion works. The second didn't (macos awk). Thank you!
