Re: [bug-gawk] 'error' in cut.awk

[Aharon Robbins]

Hi.  Can you please send me the full script you are using? (wc.ack)

A quick glance makes it look like you are correct but I would like to
see the full code and review this more carefully.

It would help if you would send both your program and your data files
as attachments, to avoid any mangling by mail programs.

Thanks,

Arnold
