The GNU Awk User's Guide says, "igawk should behave just like gawk
externally."

But, there is the following discrepancy.

$ cat hello.awk | igawk -f -
igawk:/dev/stdin:0: cannot find -

$ cat hello.awk | gawk -f -
Hello World!
$

This example demonstrates the issue, but the need for this feature has
to do with any program or utility that generates (G)AWK code and wants
to take advantage of @include.

Any chance igawk could be changed to match gawk in this behavior, Arnold?

Jim Hart

Ummm - what about a Web browser? Write one or more CGI programs in AWK,
and you're good to go. For those who don't want to mess with Apache or
IIS, check out Plain Old Webserver (POW). It's a Firefox extension that
can be easily configured to treat files ending in .awk as CGIs.

As before, the URL is: http://www.avcnet.org/users/jhart/awk++/

New features:

- class inheritance
- a Windows batch file, awkpp.bat (written for Vista by Gabor
Grothendieck), that compiles and runs an awk++ program
in one pass
- a *nix Bourne shell script, "awkpp-run.sh", that compiles and
runs in one pass
- special delete() method for releasing the memory taken by an
object
- @include files, similar to igawk, that can include awk++ code
(currently requires that the included file is in the same
directory as 'awkpp.awk' or that a full path name is provided)

Syntax changes:

- object creation now uses Ruby-like syntax,
classname.new(optional parameters); the method named 'new'
gets called automatically, providing for programmer-controlled
initialization.

Sorry to jump in late, but I thought I should mention that zenity is a
great
tool for adding dialog boxes to shell scripts. I believe that it is
available in Cygwin. This is probably simpler than using tclsh, I
think.

Itt probably does not help if the goal is to have a persistent GUI
window interacting with the process, but zenity is perfect for popping
up
dialog boxes to ask the user various types of questions.

Hi,

I'm very new in awk and I'd like some recommendation in processing a
multi line bill. The purpose of this exercise is so I could import a
cleaner file into a database. Here's a sample extract...

Hi,

I have a C program and Fortran that are similar in what they do. I
have functions that have tolerances and precisions (among other
things) as arguments. What I would like to do is transfer the
precision and tolerance fields of the C file to the corresponding ones
in the Fortran file.

What I have at this point does nothing other than remove one of the
fields in the updated Fortran file. I run the awk program at the
command line as awk -f transfer_file c_file fortran_file >
updated_fortran_file.

Hi,
My question is how are the outputs same for the two below queries.
First has 'print $0, NF' and the other 'print NF, $0'; 'print NF, $0'
is working as expected but not 'print $0, NF'; Can someone please
explain.

grampian@/export/home/sys1mi/delete_1--->gawk '/N_APPL_SYST_CPNT/
