combination is never
even noticed because it is âhiddenâ inside the comment. Thus, the
âBEGINâ is noted as a syntax error.
+ Backslash continuation comes into play in an additional, unexpected
+situation. Consider:
+
+ gawk -F'\
+ a' '...'
+
+This command line assigns a value to âFSâ. But what value? There are
+several possibilities, and in fact different versions of âawkâ do
+different things. âgawkâ treats this as if it were written:
+
+ BEGIN { FS = "\
+ a"
+ }
+ ...
+
+In short, the backslash and newline are removed, assigning â"a"â to
+âFSâ. This same treatment applies to variable assignments made with the
+â-vâ option (*note Options::) and to regular command-line variable
+assignments (*note Assignment Options::).
