It doesn't fix it
Sure, sorry Smilie

Another shot:

Code:
awk '(NR==1&&/^"http:/||NR>1&&/^http:/)&&$0=RS$0RS' RS=\"

or (less efficient):

Code:
awk '$0~"^"(NR==1?"\"":x "http:")&&$0=RS$0RS' RS=\"

Quote:
Then why is using /^http:/ skipping http://zzz ?
Because in that case http://zzz is not at the beginning of the line.

Quote:
up till now I thought awk was working on a line basis but it appears to be working on a record basis, it is just that the default record separator coincides with a newline
To be precise, in this case, as far as the output is concerned, it's the default output record separator that matters.
Of course, there is even more (even Perl does not have this one), in GNU AWK the RS could be a regexp (see also the powerful RT built-in variable),

NAME
WebCommon::urlEncode - URL encode a string SYNOPSIS
String urlEncode( String x ) ARGUMENTS
x The string to encode DESCRIPTION
URL encode a string. You should use this to encode reserved characters in URLs that you wish to be passed literally. // trying to pass "http://www.example.com" as a parameter url = "http://localhost/test.cgi?url="; url += urlEncode("http://www.example.com"); // url = http://localhost/test.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com Note that in the example above, encoding the whole URL would be incorrect - that would create a relative URL beginning "http://".
