i was doing this for several times:
sub("[A-Z]*$", "", text);
but came to the conclusion that it is broken
since awk version 3.1.1 - i am using a RedHet beta of it.
strings like "something124abc" were converted to "something124"
which is really not what the above code should do.
luckily i came to the following work around:
sub("[[:upper:]*$", "", text);
but in fact the awk program itself is now under heavy suspect
of beeing buggy. if you think you cant reproduce, then i will
take my time to look after your test cases for verification.
