Hello,
I am experimenting currently with gawk-3.1.3-2 trying to grasp the basic
principles and I have encountered the following issue. I have a simple
text file data.txt containing this data: "aaa\r\n\r\nbbb\r\n\r\nccc",
i.e. there is no "\r" or "\n" or "\r\n" at the end of the file.
I wonder, what the following gawk-script should output:
BEGIN{
RS="\n\n+";
ORS="";OFS="";
}
{
print "\"",$0,"\"\n";
}
I assume, that it should be:
"aaa"
"bbb"
"ccc"
shouldn't it? Nevertheless, what I get is:
"aaa"
"bbb"
"cc"
i.e. the last "c" is mysteriously trimmed. Letting RS="" solves this
issue, nevertheless I would like to understand, why the RS="\n\n+"
version doesn't work. By the way, BINMODE is set to 0, so I presume,
that the "\r\n" sequence is converted internally to "\n". Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Mira
