What I really want is an easy way to run gawk scripts in calc, i.e.:
- Calc should open a bidirectional pipeline to gawk (gawk supports
this) as described in issue 66816
- (advanced: Calc should recognize the shebang line (e.g. #!gawk
-parameters...), and use the correct program, in this case gawk, for
the particular script)
This sounds like a nice idea for an add-on component. Everything it
needs from Calc (basically just reading and writing cell content) is
available through the UNO API.
I am sure of that, unfortunately I am not a programmer (and I am quite
bussy, too, in order to learn the API myself). I would be glad if
someone could implement this.

I would rather it returns -1 instead of 0 if the string is not found. In this
specific case returning 0 may be okay, but too many of us are too used to
0-based positioning scheme (i.e. the value of 0 corresponds with the first
column), relying on zero for the "not found" condition makes me feel uneasy.
I do not have any strong preference for either '0' or '-1'. While for
C/C++ programmers, (unsigned int) -1 is probably better, most users
would probably prefer a value of 0. As this does not interfere with Calc
(strings start at position 1), it is even possible. (e.g. awk/gawk uses
0, too).
However, the point is, a numerical value is far better than the "Error"
message that the current function generates.
Hope this is fixed, too.
Kind regards,
Leonard Mada
