------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 22 05:49:51 -0700 2006 ------- Copied from busybox's bug database http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=914 bbox's awk -f <this file> says: "awk: xregcomp: Unmatched \{". gawk-3.0.4 doesn't. This is because gawk's default regular expression support includes all POSIX expressions *except* interval expressions busybox's regular expression support includes all POSIX expressions including internal expressions ... which means you need to escape the { if you read the SUSv3 standards, busybox's behavior is compliant: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/awk.html http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/awk.html#tag_04_06_13_04 * Regular Expressions The awk utility shall make use of the extended regular expression notation (see the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 9.4, Extended Regular Expressions) http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09_04 http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09_04_03 The asterisk, plus-sign, question-mark, and left-brace shall be special except when used in a bracket expression. and in fact, the standard says that doing '\{' should always result in matching of a '{' http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09_03_02 so, since you arent using [{], and you arent using '\{', your code is not portable and busybox makes no promise that it will work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
