"]" as field separator in awk 3

[w5000]

hello,
is there any mistake in separator list given as

"[\[|\/|\]]"

The first two separators [ and / seems to work but the last ] not.

Hi

The backslash ( \ ) is meaningful for the shell too. And there you seem to mix character classes and alternation. These work with [tt]gawk[/tt] and [tt]mawk[/tt] running in [tt]bash[/tt] :
[ul]
[li][tt]-F "[\\\\[/\\\\]]"[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]-F "\\\\[|/|\\\\]"[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]-F '[\\[/\\]]'[/tt][/li]
[li][tt]-F '\\[|/|\\]'[/tt][/li]
[/ul]

thank you, these two worked on AIX in ksh and awk:

# grep saved out|tail -10|awk -F "\\\\[|/|\\\\]" '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1)}'
345088 345088
6144 6144
8192 8192
7168 7168
6144 6144
5120 5120
6144 6144
7168 7168
5120 5120
13312 13312
# grep saved out|tail -10|awk -F '\\[|/|\\]' '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1)}'
345088 345088
6144 6144
8192 8192
7168 7168
6144 6144
5120 5120
6144 6144
7168 7168
5120 5120
13312 13312

Another trick, if the first character in a character class is ], it is treated literally. Likewise if the last character is [. So this should also work:

awk -F '[]/[]' '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1)}'

And you aren't in \\\\\escape hell...
