Hi,
I'm using an 'old' release of debian (1.1.13), and I'm happy with it. I found
out the other day that awk is not working the way its man page says.
If I use awk --re-interval, it should accept reg-expr like [0-9]{5} to mean
"five numbers in row" (a reg-expr definition of ZIP code?), but it doesn't.
It never matches things like 29100, instead matches 0{5} "literaly". Am I
missing something or is it really broken?
Has anybody experienced this? Has it been fixed in more recent releases? I have
no longer Slack to test if this is debian-specific or not. Debian is so superior
I can live with this bug ..
PS: FWIW it's gawk 3.0 patch level 0
