Here's a sample of how the multiple separators feature behaves:
[15:52:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ echo " one: two:three :four five" | awk -F "[: ]"
'{print "1 "$1; print "2 "$2; print "3 "$3; print "4 "$4; print "5 "$5; print
"6 "$6;print "7 "$7;print "8 "$8}'
1
2 one
3
4 two
5 three
6
7 four
8 five
Doesn't seem very logical to me.
When awk successfully tests for space or colon, the following characters
are assumed NOT to be separators even if they have been defined as such
via the -F flag -- eg. the <space> that follows "one:" is mapped to the
$3 variable.
Is this the way it's supposed to work?
