# Hello, Arnold.

# 

# I'm hit bug on SuSE 9.1 with awk:

# 

# vsuse91:~ # echo "a:b:c" | awk '{ print $2 }' 'FS=[ :]'

# b

# vsuse91:~ # echo "a:b:c" | awk '{ print $2 }' 'FS=[ :]+'

# awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: Trailing backslash: /[ :]+/

# 

# vsuse91:~ # awk --version

# GNU Awk 3.1.3

# 

# 

# 

# But on my Debian machine all OK:

# 

# asashnov@sashnov:~$ echo "a:b:c" | awk '{ print $2 }' 'FS=[ :]'

# b

# asashnov@sashnov:~$ echo "a:b:c" | awk '{ print $2 }' 'FS=[ :]+'

# b

# asashnov@sashnov:~$ awk --version

# GNU Awk 3.1.4

# 

# 

# Need add test for this sample to gawk test suite for avoid this problems in future.
