Hi, We have some scripts written in awk that we'd like to have take flags, but when the script is embedded in a hashbang file (#!/usr/bin/awk -f), then awk ends up consuming any arguments that look like flags, so we're limited in the compatibility we can provide.
Looking at editors/awk.c there's a comment about adding -E being "easy-ish". Glad to hear it. We have an urgent need for this, and we're hoping it can be in the next release. We've opened a bug: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=15781 How realistic is it to get this out for the next cycle? Thanks, -Philip _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
