Sure enough, awk works exactly like you say, and the gawk manapage (on
cygwin) documents it. Here is my test using the simplified awk syntax:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CTS4.run.2008-06-27T13_58_45,500]$ awkfunc () { set |
awk '/^'$*' ()/,/^}$/'; } [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CTS4.run.2008-06-27T13_58_45,500]$ awkfunc awkfunc
awkfunc ()
{
set | awk '/^'$*' ()/,/^}$/'
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] CTS4.run.2008-06-27T13_58_45,500]$
thanks Uri,
