This behavior is contrary to the standard, which places no such restriction on assignment values. >From the standard: The characters following the shall be interpreted as if they appeared in the awk program preceded and followed by a double-quote ('"') character, as a STRING token (see Grammar), except that if the last character is an unescaped , it shall be interpreted as a literal rather than as the first character of the sequence "\"". How to reproduce: $ awk 'END{print var}' var=3D'=3Dvalue=3D' < /dev/null awk: can't open file var=3D=3Dvalue=3D source line number 1 Expected output: =3Dvalue=3D $ awk -v var=3D'=3Dvalue=3D' 'BEGIN{print var}' awk: invalid -v option argument: var=3D=3D text Expected output: =3Dvalue=3D --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
