Full Discussion: Different results from awk, sed, tr in different directories???
Operating Systems HP-UX Different results from awk, sed, tr in different directories??? Post 302108097 by james_falco on Friday 23rd of February 2007 01:02:17 AM
Old 02-23-2007
that is genius! yup I have file named 1 in the first directory. Yes, that is our resolution, to put double quotes for "[0-9]" and to "[A-Z]" "[a-z]". Just a stupid question:
1. How does tr read the file named 1, but I know the tr only accepts strings and characters. I tried to create a file named 3, and it accepts the 1 and 3 files and went to syntax error. how does it happens?
(aondufd1)acking:/aon/dev/psoft/FSTST88/autosys/parm>echo ${MailFile} | awk -F. '{ print $1 "." }' | sed 's/.*\(...\)\..*/>
+ echo mfint003pr.in1*
+ awk -F. { print $1 "." }
+ sed s/.*\(...\)\..*/\1/
+ tr -d 2 3
+ tr [A-Z] [a-z]
tr: The combination of options and String parameters is not legal.
Usage: tr [ -c | -cds | -cs | -ds | -s ] [-A] String1 String2
tr [ -cd | -cs | -d | -s ] [-A] String1

NAME

       igawk - gawk with include files

SYNOPSIS

       igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).

       AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like

	      @include getopt.awk

       in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.

OPTIONS

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
		 ...
       }
       EOF

       igawk -f test.awk
