Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4590575 By: schubertg It took me a while; but I finally solved the problem. My awk scripts seemed to work on Win2kPro; but I started see them fail erratically when I started running them on XP. Turns out that I could, sometimes, get them to fail on Win2kPro as well, with an exit code of 3. The problem was elusive as the awk code would fail at various points, sometimes at a match statement, sometimes at a print statement, other times, not at all. I was reading through the known bugs for gawk and found that there is an issue with using IGNORECASE at times. Once I removed this IGNORECASE from my scripts, they became robust again. Thanks to all of you who post these bugs - you just made my day! -Schube ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
