alnum is POSIX character class. gawk is ok with those. the { } is what is not supported by many awk. Smilie it is newer i guess and gawk didn't want to break itself

Code:
[mute@geek ~]$ echo foo | gawk '/^[[:alnum:]]{3}$/'
[mute@geek ~]$ echo foo | gawk --posix '/^[[:alnum:]]{3}$/'
foo

so to help more, please tell me which awk and/or OS you use.

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
