Hi.
Hope this is the correct place for this mail.
I have quite a few awk program-files that ran
without any problems on gawk prior to 3.1.1 -
I think it was 3.0.4.
During the weekend I upgraded my Cygwin installation
and Gawk 3.1.1-2 is now installed.
But - ALL my program-files created with DOS type editors
and ending in CR/LF now give problems.
gawk comes back with error 'invalid char' for each ^M.
I have to manually remove the CR at the end of each line to get it to work.
And using vim doesn't help as it accepts the CR/LF
combination. Effectively I have to open each file as
a DOS file and save as a Unix type file - or force it
thru FTP to strip the CR's.
All would be fine - except in the field - *nix type editors
ain't allways available and something like wordpad must
make do. And so the problem continues.
Am I missing something? Is there an environment variable
that suddenly needs setting?
Oh and yes - I am running gawk in a cmd shell.
But I get the same problem running in bash.
For the time being I'm reverting to the previous version
of Gawk and the cygwin1.dll.
Tx in advance
Kind regards
PwP

Sorry, I didn't make the changes in gawk.
I was just giving a suggestion on a way to work around it.

Yes. dos2unix from the cygutils package.
It will automatically convert your old files for you.
