What in the shown result of s2.sh does not satisfy your needs? Looks perfect to me, considering the code you presented.

The difference is the T array index is $1 in the working code, and empty in your error case. I desparately try to understand why "Awk is more complicated for" you and you forgo the efficient complete solutions presented to you in posts #7 or #8, falling back to highly inefficient band aid pseudo solutions.

Consider the case the bumper has fallen off your car. The professional repair shop grabs their MIG welder, welds the screw nuts back to the carrier beam, and with a ratchet screws the bumper back on. Amateurs use chewing gum to fill the gaps, and scotch tape to glue the bumper back.


awk (or perl, sed, etc.) is the MIG welder and the ratchet at your finger tips.

ustrtok(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual						  ustrtok(3alleg4)

NAME
ustrtok - Retrieves tokens from a string. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> char *ustrtok(char *s, const char *set); DESCRIPTION
This function retrieves tokens from `s' which are delimited by characters from `set'. To initiate the search, pass the string to be searched as `s'. For the remaining tokens, pass NULL instead. Warning: Since ustrtok alters the string it is parsing, you should always copy the string to a temporary buffer before parsing it. Also, this function is not re-entrant (ie. you cannot parse two strings at the same time). Example: char *word; char string[]="some-words with dashes"; char *temp = ustrdup(string); word = ustrtok(temp, " -"); while (word) { allegro_message("Found `%s' ", word); word = ustrtok(NULL, " -"); } free(temp); RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the token, or NULL if no more are found. SEE ALSO
