I'm new to awk, trying to understand the basics.
I'm trying to reset the counter everytime the program gets a new file to check.
I figured in the BEGIN part it would work, but it doesn't.
Why would you need to use this in a script?
Why can't you just use print to print out what you want printed in the begining and print for what you want at the end.
So this:
nawk 'BEGIN {print "this is the first line"}
{print $1 $2 $3}
{print $5 $6}
END {print "this is the last line"}'

test::use::ok
Test::use::ok(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::use::ok(3)NAME
Test::use::ok - Alternative to Test::More::use_ok
SYNOPSIS
use ok 'Some::Module';
DESCRIPTION
According to the Test::More documentation, it is recommended to run "use_ok()" inside a "BEGIN" block, so functions are exported at
compile-time and prototypes are properly honored.
That is, instead of writing this:
use_ok( 'Some::Module' );
use_ok( 'Other::Module' );
One should write this:
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Some::Module' ); }
BEGIN { use_ok( 'Other::Module' ); }
However, people often either forget to add "BEGIN", or mistakenly group "use_ok" with other tests in a single "BEGIN" block, which can
create subtle differences in execution order.
With this module, simply change all "use_ok" in test scripts to "use ok", and they will be executed at "BEGIN" time. The explicit space
after "use" makes it clear that this is a single compile-time action.
