Is Nicholas answer sufficient?  If not, it would still be an upstream
problem.  You should better ask on help-gnu-utils AT lists gnu org

Awk is not really my expertise (haven't used it in years) but shouldn't
that be

awk '{printf ("%6d", 0x22) }' test.txt

I mean that "0x22" usually refers to strings, not hexes.
Works fine without quotations.

change in gawk from 3.1.5 to 3.1.6

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello Corinna,

the change in gawk from 3.1.5  to 3.1.6 broke my script.

in 3.1.5 i received a correct value when fomatting hex strings

> awk '{printf ("%6d","0x22" ) }' test.txt
 34

in 3.1.6 i receiveonly 0 when fomatting hex strings

3.1.6
> awk '{printf ("%6d","0x22" ) }' test.txt
 0



it loks as if it didn't understand hex notation any longer. Or am I 
missing something ?




Greetings,


Helmut Kern
