# 

# hello all,

# 

# I'm using the following script

# 

BEGIN {

	RS="ti1\n(dwv,)?"

	s = 0

	i = 0

}

{

	if ($1 != "")

		s = $1

	print ++i, s

}

# 

# to extract values from a file of the form

# 

# ti1

# dwv,98.22

# ti1

# dwv,103.08

# ti1

# ti1

# dwv,196.25

# ti1

# dwv,210.62

# ti1

# dwv,223.53

# 

# The desired result for this example looks like

# 

# 1 0

# 2 98.22

# 3 103.08

# 4 103.08

# 5 196.25

# 6 210.62

# 7 223.53

# 

# The script work fine the most time, but when run on the attached file

# (sorry for the size, but the error would not appear with less data) I

# get some (three with the attached file) lines that look like

# 

# 1262 dwv,212.97

# 1277 dwv,174.33

# 1279 dwv,151.79

# 

# I can't think of a other reason for this than a bug in gawk!

# 

# I'm running gawk 3.1.1 on winnt 4.0

# 

# best regards

#      Lorenz
