Solaris and awk

[ranjit]

Is the "[^[:alnum:]]" notation for specifying a field seperator valid for Solaris?

echo "AA!BB,CC DD" | nawk -F "[^[:alnum:]]" '{print $3}'

The above works on AIX however not on Solaris

 

[risby]

Worked OK on

SunOS mks3 5.8 Generic_117350-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

although it required gawk rather than awk or nawk.

I phoned the local ramblers club today, and this bloke just went on and on.
