Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting "awk '/[0-9]{4}/' file" not works, why ? Post 302550482 by alister on Friday 26th of August 2011 12:40:56 AM

Some AWKs' regular expression flavor may not support interval expressions (in your example, the {4} part), even though the standard has stated (for at least 15 years) that AWK's regular expression support is the extended regular expression flavor (which includes interval expression support) plus some minor escape sequence extensions.

In particular, I remember, years ago, bumping into this when testing scripts on GNU AWK. Without the --re-interval option, the feature would not be enabled.

Perhaps your AWK lacks support for it? Which implementation are you using?

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
