Hi,
I have a customer who found following "feature" in V4.0:
% echo "abcd.V16.LIC" | awk '{ FS = "." } {print $2}'
gives back an empty result!!!
Although Digital UNIX V3.2C makes it as expected:
% echo "abcd.V16.LIC" | awk '{ FS = "." } {print $2}'
V16
Any idea ?
Detlef.

| The original program was incorrect.  Try this:
% echo "abcd.V16.LIC" | awk ' BEGIN { FS = "." }  {print $2}'
