[comp.sys.ibm.pc] wanted: AWK that works well

hundt@paul.rutgers.edu (Thomas M. Hundt) (01/28/89)

Am having trouble with the "gawk" that I have (this *is* Gnu awk,
isn't it?)  Specifically it bombs with null pointer problems when
dealing with variables (eg. FOO = "blah" or F = $1).  In my opinion it
should handle uninitialized variables more gracefully (ie. blank not
error out).  These things don't happen with the one on this Sun!

Pointers, offers to send copies, comments appreciated.

Public domain/shareware much preferred.  Yes, I know of MKS tools.
