Hallo everybody,

i have to do an awk program call in a batch (DOS) file like that:

gawk -f xxx.awk file1.tmp file2.tmp file3.tmp ....

How many parameters can I write to it or is there a restriction to it.

Is it possible to redirect these files in another file to reduce the number of parameters or is the number almost the same. It looks like that:

gawk -f xxx.awk file1.tmp <total_file.tmp

Thanks!!!
