Hi, maybe one of you can sched some light on this. I want to match a sequence of two digits with awk, but the following doesn't work
gawk '/([[:digit:]]){2}/' test_file
while it works as expected when using egrep, like
egrep ([[:digit:]]){2} test_file
Leaving out the interval also works, like in
gawk '/([[:digit:][:digit:]])/' test_file
but that would of course get worse when it comes to more than two digits. It
also doesn't make a difference if I use [0-9] instead of [[:digit:]].
According to awk's man page its regular expressions are the same than those
used by egrep. What do I miss?
Thanks...
Dirk
