Re: AWK question

In Response To: Re: AWK question (Walt Hultgren)

Good point Walt. The worst that I've seen are the awk's on Solaris and AIX
which also have some old bugs like not properly supporting input variables
(-v varname=value). On Solaris you usually also have nawk which works fine
and some installations of Solaris have GNU awk (gawk) which is available for
AIX as well. Nawk and gawk have many extensions to the basic awk language
as well.
