Not Sure how to use parallel command with awk

Greetings All,

How can I use the parallel command with awk to read millions of lines of numbered patterns. I tried this, but I get errors.

Code:while read line; do

read a b c d <<< "$line"
parallel awk -v v1=$a -v v2=$b -v v3=$c -v v4=$d '$0~v1 && $0~v2 && $0~v3 && $0~v4 {print v1, v2, v3, v4}' gamenums.txt

done < patterns.txtThe errors:

/bin/bash: /bin/bash~v2: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /bin/bash~v2: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /bin/bash~v2: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /bin/bash~v2: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /bin/bash~v2: No such file or directory
...
etc

The script runs perfectly without the parallel command.

I'm not sure how to use the parallel command. I even tried:

parallel mypatterns.sh

That didn't work either.

I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
