# Status: R
#
# Hi,
#
# I have observed the following changed behavior between gawk-3.8.1 and
# gakw-4.0.0. While in the former
#
# echo -ne ' aaa' | gawk '{for (c = 1; c <= NF; c++) {gsub("foo", "bar", $c); print}}'
#
# prints:
#
# aaa
#
# the gawk-4.0.0 does not preserve the leading spaces and prints:
#
# aaa
#
# Best regards,
# --
# Kacper
#
{for (c = 1; c <= NF; c++) {gsub("foo", "bar", $c); print}}
