This probably warrants some further contemplation since the same exceptions apply to the "split()" function. Perhaps the pertinent references to "regul= ar expression" should be removed and a separate paragraph or section added to discuss "field separators", rather than repeating the exceptions in multiple places. Agreed it renders the awk(1) man page inaccurate and it is one of the hallm= arks of FreeBSD that its man pages provide accurate reference information. In fa= ct it has stirred a vague memory in me of having been caught out by this exception. Well spotted! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
