awk version and "The AWK Programming Language" by Aho/Kernighan/Weinberger ca. 1988 4 49 (3/3/2012 3:54:11 PM) comp.lang.awk What would have been the awk version available at the time "The AWK Programming Language" by Aho/Kernighan/Weinberger [*] was last published in 1988? (the gnu ftp archive appears to stop around 1993). -Bryan [... bryanlepore

ways to put data into arrays 7 46 (2/26/2012 5:39:25 PM) comp.lang.awk I have a list (see below) I think should be stored in arrays. However, it seems it will be easier to simply use NR to record each line instead of trying to get a multidimensional array simulation so that each ... bryanlepore

assigning array variables 38 61 (2/20/2012 9:05:57 PM) comp.lang.awk [ gnu awk 3.1.7 ] can array variables be assigned without reading input? e.g: array=(A B C D E) for (name in array) .... ... bryanlepore

format of "i" in counter 4 71 (2/20/2012 12:52:59 AM) comp.lang.awk [ gnu awk 3.1.7 ] does "i" have a "format" per se, e.g. in a counter or while loop? reason I ask : I have a while counter (example below) where I would like to use the value of "i" but in %02d format. this is... B

getting fields of FILENAME 4 72 (4/13/2011 6:48:52 PM) comp.lang.awk I am looking for some ideas on how to set a variable to be one field in FILENAME. I'd like to do it within awk i.e. not piping to the shell. i.e. in a GNU toolchain the equivalent of: echo "one_two_three.da... B

postscript terminal : no overline 1 322 (3/1/2011 8:23:34 PM) comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot i gather that an overline is not possible with the postscript terminal. e.g. in LaTeX, $\overline{x}$ gives you "xbar". ps_guide.ps doesn't have this listed. -Bryan ... bryan

understanding the consequence of postscript terminal plot size 4 469 (2/25/2011 10:14:19 PM) comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot i'd like to understand why the chunk of postscript output code plus ps2pdf below is OK for plotsize=1.0, but anything higher and my .pdf or .ps appear as if perhaps the bounding box (something i sort of under... bryan

using getline, close in BEGIN 2 139 (7/4/2008 8:02:07 PM) comp.lang.awk using awk 20040207 my understanding is that close(getline) resets awk to read an input file again (as in `awk -F mydatafile.dat`) but my results are at odds with that. i want FILENAME in my output (stdout) he... salmonrushdee
