#Subject: Problem in gawk with match
|
|
#
|
|
#Hello,
|
|
#
|
|
#gawk reports fatal error in match when first character in regexp is "=" :
|
|
#
|
|
#$ gawk '{ where = match($0, /=a/); print where}'
|
|
#gawk: cmd. line:1: { where = match($0, /=a/); print where}
|
|
#gawk: cmd. line:1: ^ parse error
|
|
#gawk: cmd. line:1: fatal: match() cannot have 0 arguments
|
|
#
|
|
#Using "\=" instead "=" works without problems :
|
|
#
|
|
#$ gawk '{ where = match($0, /\=a/); print where}'

|
|
#Other versions of awk have no problems with "/=/" (except oawk on SunOS).
