He responded to my post; you didn't. I know you've had a lot on your plate lately with your move, selling the house, working on toysh. But you responded to most posts here since mine on 5/14. After all you've written about awk, I was puzzled by your non-response, and inferred wrongly that it was intentional, so I thought asking you why you didn't respond to a post you intended to ignore would be ... not well received. I thought Elliot might have some insight there. > Remember the "poke me a week later if I forget"? No. But I dug into the archive, and find that you said that to Oliver in a post about toysh in March. But never about awk, or to me. (http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2024-March/030146.html) > I consider myself poked, somewhat passive-aggressively. :) No passive aggression intended. But you've been looking for an awk for at least 8 years, so I really thought you'd welcome one that's complete and written for toybox, with some tests and documentation. > I have the tab open, the reason I haven't looked at it yet is A) it's 4500 > lines, B) in a thing I have WAY insufficient existing domain expertise in (but > multiple bookmarked tutorials and an entire book on somewhere). It's really 3523 lines of non-blank non-comment code, measured with: toybox awk -f cnt_sloc.awk awk.c where cnt_sloc.awk is: /^[ \t]*\/\*/ , /\*\/[ \t]*$/ { next } # Skip /* ... */ comments /^ *$/ || /^ *\/\// { next } # Skip empty and //comment-only lines { sloc++ } END { print sloc } BTW regarding not getting an SSD at Target: there's a MicroCenter in the Minneapolis metro area; might be worth the drive. The one where I am is good. _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
