E.g., change in v5 from v4, change back in v6. The fact is that awk, just like the shell, has various fields and degrees of usefulness. bash shows up in 103.1 (101) "Work on the command line" and in 105.1 (102) "Customize and use the shell environment" and then of course in the scripting topic. Perhaps awk too should be split: it's basic use as a stream filter in 101 (like: print nth field in a record, print records between n and m) and it's use as a scripting language in 102 (branching, loops, regexp operators, ...). -- Alessandro Selli http://alessandro.route-add.net VOIP SIP: dhatarat...@ekiga.net Chiavi PGP/GPG keys: B7FD89FD, 4A904FD9 _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
