Hello,
with the introduction of namespaces, the INPLACE_SUFFIX=.foo seems to no
longer work and has been replaced by the inplace::suffix=.foo. Is there
some way, to make scripts using the INPLACE_SUFFIX variable (and probably some
others)
compatible with both gawk 4.2.1 and 5.0.1?
An ugly way that comes to mind is something like:
... gawk --version| ((grep 4.2.1 >/dev/null && echo "INPLACE_SUFFIX=")|| echo
"inplace::suffix=") ...
Is there some better (ideally a gawk only) way of doing this?
Thanks,
Jakub
P.S. Thanks for all the work and effort required for bringing us a new
major release.
