Re: Cygwin, gawk, and serial ports.
Matthew,
http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PPIOSPE. I'm redirecting this to the proper
list, and setting Reply-To: accordingly -- please make sure your mailer
respects it.

Hello,
I've been trying to get awk to write to the serial port under cygwin.
#script
BEGIN{
PRINT hello world /dev/com1;
}
#end script
this doesn't work in awk but
cat file.txt /dev/com1
works fine.
Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Matthew Karas
WJFFM. You'll have to be more specific about the nature of your problem.
In particular, you should provide all of the information requested in the
Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
When you do, please make sure to *attach* the output of cygcheck -svr,
not include it inline.
Igor

I take that back. It works for me if I use lowercase print, which is an
awk command. The uppercase PRINT is interpreted as an (empty) awk
variable, and awk interprets a constant expression in statement context
just like C does -- i.e., it ignores it. This is not Cygwin-specific;
you'll get the same results on Linux.
