Re: [bug-gawk] getline change of behavior in 4.0.0

[Andrew Noymer]

In the old awk a "getline" could strip-off a header.  In the new it seems to be broken.

The program and input data are attached.  It is a pretty bare-bones example.

Thanks!

grand total:    6

$ gawk --version | grep "GNU A"
GNU Awk 3.1.8

$ awk -f grand_tot_remove_head.awk input_data.csv
grand total:    9
