#608
awk: bare length pattern, ^, zero-padded printf and print > "/dev/stderr" give wrong output
just-bash version
3.6.0
Reproduction
printf 'abc\nabcdef\n' | awk 'length > 4'
echo '3 4' | awk '{ print $1 ^ $2 }'
awk 'BEGIN { printf "%05.1f|\n", 3.14159 }'
awk 'BEGIN { print "e" > "/dev/stderr" }'How you run it
import { Bash } from "just-bash";
const result = await new Bash().exec(script);Expected behavior
awk (one-true-awk and gawk agree):
abcdef
81
003.1|The last line, e, goes to stderr.
Actual behavior
3
3.1|and nothing on stderr. All four commands exit 0. In order:
- the bare
lengthpattern selects nothing; ^doesn't exponentiate;- the
0flag doesn't zero-pad; print > "/dev/stderr"output disappears.
