Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Error with using a shell command(looks more generic error) Post 302502678 by Corona688 on Tuesday 8th of March 2011 03:09:02 PM

Basic awk has this annoying limitation on many systems. This is why we always like people to tell us what their system is before we try to help them, lest we give them answers that mysteriously don't work.

Use nawk or gawk if you have it, they have longer limits.

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text 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 SEE ALSO
