starting gawk from env
Hi!

This is my first post here - regards!

I wrote gawk script with the first line:

#!/usr/bin/env gawk -f

but it does not work. Why?
Probably env is trying to exec "gawk -f" instead of "gawk".

I am also using env to start wish and there are no problems.

Thanks

You may need to tell it to ignore the -f by either quoting or using \-f

Thanks, but it does not help...
I obtained:

/usr/bin/env: gawk '-f': No such file or directory

I cannot see logical reason for:
#!/usr/bin/env gawk -f
wrong operation. Maybe a bug...

Regards

Don't bother trying that, it won't work either. Read the link that vgersh99 posted.

Thanks folks!

Switching to
#!/bin/sh
seems to be good idea in order to obtain portability.
