Hey, thanks! I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, but I assume it works. Could you please explain why it works, and mine doesn't? I would think that as the program parses every line, it would write out the line to the new file, so as long as the line isn't more than 4096 bytes long.
EDIT: Okay, I see that your command is different in that it calls the awk script once for each file, rather than all of the files at once, and is thus able to use a relevant END block to rename the .tmp files to the original file. But why I can I not replace the text in one go, as I was trying to do?

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

@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
