Re: [bug-gawk] Invalid Characters Causing Problems in awk 4.0.2

[arnold]

Hi.

An example would help.

The latest version of gawk is 4.2.1, much further ahead of 4.0.2; the version
you're upgrading from (3.1.3) is pushing 16 years old! Even 4.0.2 is six
years old!

In any case, I susepct that if you do

        export LC_ALL=C

before running any scripts that things will work as you expect them
to.

Thanks,

Arnold
