Different FS for each pattern
I have a source that is predominantly delimited by whitespace, so the standard FS is fine. But a single line in the source would be more useful if I could break it up by the '/' character. Is there a way to redefine the FS on a pattern by pattern basis?

Failed example...
Code:
/Address/ { OFS=FS
FS="/"
robot=$4
FS=OFS}
/^[a-z]/ {name=$1}
/pkg_version/ {print robot " " name " " $4}

Can you post some lines of your input file and the desired output?

Please use code tags!

Try :
Code:
/Address/ { OFS=FS
FS="/"
$0 = $0 "";
robot=$4
FS=OFS}
/^[a-z]/ {name=$1}
/pkg_version/ {print robot " " name " " $4}

use split.

Code:
awk '/Address/ {split($0,robot,"/"); print robot[4]}' urfile

You code can be updated as:

Code:
/Address/ {split($0,robot,"/")}
/^[a-z]/ {name=$1}
/pkg_version/ {print robot[4] " " name " " $4}
