Hello,I'm an enthusiast user of gawk. I hope this is the best address to place a feature request (I could not find an "official" place for requests)
Often I have to use gawk on a large number of files with a single execution of gawk (I have to compare some file contents) but it is very easy to reach the maximum length of the shell command line, since files are in different paths
So I think it would be useful (not only for me) a new command line switch to specify a file that contains the names of the files to process (e.g.
gawk .. -list myfilelist.txt ...) Best regards, -- Daniele
