Is awk supported by Sun?
[203 byte] By [tommypetersen] at [2007-11-25 23:36:01] 
I was told that I should not use awk scripts in my code because it may not work in future releases of Unix.Does anybody know if that is true, or does Sun support awk?Thank You

I have no idea what Sun's plans for awk but Solaris has both awk and nawk available - so yes, it is supported. I would use nawk if I were you. Its got some added capabilities that awk doesn't have. swoneill at 2007-7-5 18:20:25 >

I don't think sun will drop the awk support. But Now I started using perl for my scripting, it has lot more feature then other unix utilities. sundaram123 at 2007-7-5 18:20:25 >
