#!/bin/csh
nawk \
'\
END { print "var1 = ", var1 }' \
/dev/null var1="nawk works"
awk \
'\
END { print "var1 = ", var1 }' \
/dev/null var1="awk works"
gawk \
'\
END { print "var1 = ", var1 }' \
/dev/null var1="gawk works"
What happens when I run the above test:
gawk.bug
var1 = nawk works
var1 = awk works # I had to hit Ctrl-D to force this message
gawk: var1=gawk works: No such file or directory
Question: Is this a known bug in gawk?
This question involves running gawk from the command line, and not just
the language itself.
If I do
gawk -v X=a -v Y=b ... '{ ... }'
does the gawk program know how many and which variables were passed to it?

3. rsh [server] gawk "gawk-program" fails
4. Powerstation 7012-320H - help needed with display
5. no stdin so how do I pass variables instead?
6. Linuxconf and /etc permissions
7. Passing variables to awk in ksh
9. Passing sysctl variables to kernel
10. passing variable to system call??
11. passing awk variables as arguments
12. environment variables passing to another shell (script)
13. Passing Variables to Autoload Functions in ksh
