Re: Gawk - problem with hexadecimal numbers

[Juan Manuel Guerrero]

OFYI, on my SuSE Linux 10.0 I can not reproduce the
error no mattter which locale is used. I have also downloaded
gawk-3.1.{45}.tar.gz and compiled them. Both work flawless
for the 0xe-test. The output below is generated by the original
gawk binary installed by the SuSE distribution.


echo 0xf | awk '{printf strtonum($1)}'
15
echo 0xe | awk '{printf strtonum($1)}'
14
