Problem with cygwin-1.1.2 gawk-3.0.4 [Was: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gawk-3.0.4]

[Christian Jönsson]

I have not made any awk script, I think the problem lies in passing some chars between tcl and awk. could be tcl could be gawk, could even by cygwin but that's a guess. In this case, it's either the char " or the " in followed by blank char.

As for trying escaping like you mention below, what do you suggets for the tcl script:

set awkCode { { print " "; } }

exec awk $awkCode


TIA,

/ChJ
