[Bug 69724] Re: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions
The bash completion bug was fixed. I'm inclined to say that if character classes are needed, gawk should be used. It looks like mawk has stalled, and the call to switch to Thomas Dickey's fork isn't mine to make. We are following debian on this one. ** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69724 Title: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mawk/+bug/69724/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 69724] Re: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions
I've been performing testing of new versions of the Boot Info Script for it's developers and received the following input: mawk (default in Debian/Ubuntu) doesn't work for some of the new code: - can't extract embedded grub4dos config file - calculates wrong values for GiB/GB stuff (filefrag -v) It sounds like we can work around this using gawk but it was suggested that we might consider this newer version of mawk for Natty: http://invisible-island.net/mawk/ Is something like that possible? One of the developers of the Boot Info Script has confirmed that, This mawk version, don't seem to have a problem with my current code. You can read info about the Boot Info Script here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ It's proven to be an invaluable tool in diagnosing boot problems, particularly since the introduction of grub 2. There is no indication ATM that Debian is headed in that direction: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mawk -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69724 Title: Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your report. We are confirming this because from the mawk manual AWK uses extended regular expressions as with egrep and character classes are defined in POSIX.2 which is said to be supported by mawk. ** Changed in: mawk (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Mawk does not support Posix character classes in expressions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/69724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
