Package: gawk Version: 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
thank you for maintaining this package. wishing to make a filter in the bluefish editor, i turned to awk. i needed to perform a matchall equivalent, so split/patsplit were chosen. the gawk man says "patsplit(s, a [, r [, seps] ])" the sepatator matches would be in the last param, as with split. in reality, for patsplit they were switched, as opposed to split, where they matched the man. i don't know which of them: the man or the program is to be fixed. thanks again, alex -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gawk depends on: ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libreadline6 6.2+dfsg-0.1 ii libsigsegv2 2.10-2 gawk recommends no packages.
