awk variable regexp works in AIX but not in SunOS?
Using awk variables for regular expressions is working for me in AIX. It is failing for me in SunOS. I don't know why. Can someone explain and/or suggest a fix for the SunOS version?
Here is a little test script. It runs fine in AIX:
$ cat test.out
Executed on OS: SunOS 5.10 Generic_141414-07
awk: syntax error near line 5
awk: bailing out near line 5
Further, if I change $0 ~ re in the script to $0 ~ /iddl/, then it runs fine on SunOS (and of course AIX too). The problem is, I need a *variable* on the right hand side of the comparison, not a constant:

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)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
