awk gsub
Hi all
I want to do a simple substitution in awk but I am getting unexpected output. My function accepts a time and then prints out a validation message if the time is valid. However some times may include a : and i want to strip this out if it exists before i get to the validation. I have shown a small sample of my function below which is giving the unexpected output. When this function is called with 23:01 the first print time gives 23:01 but the second gives a 1. What i want is simply 2301.
Can anyone let me know what im doing wrong.
Code:
function getTime(time)
{
        print time;
        time = gsub(":","x",time);
        print time;
}

Thanks
