Summary

0000886: awk does not call END if next is called on last last line of input and input file has no newline.

Description

The END section of my awk script does not get called if i match the final line of the input file, call next, and the input file does not end in a new line. If I add new lines to the end of the input file, all is well. If I do not call next after the match, all is well.

This is differnt to the result I get with the awk program shipped with Fedora Core 4.

Notes
(0001387) limey 05-29-06 10:37	Should be reproducable using the attached files: ./awk -f script.awk input_newline.txt BEGIN matched END ./awk -f script.awk input_no_newline.txt BEGIN matched The second with the no newline input does not produce END.

(0001388) limey 05-29-06 10:42	And to show how calling/not calling next effects this: ./awk -f script_no_next.awk input_no_newline.txt BEGIN matched END ./awk -f script_no_next.awk input_newline.txt BEGIN matched END The END section gets called this time.

(0001539) vapier 07-19-06 17:05	no idea what awk you're talking about, but assuming you're talking about busybox's awk, busybox-1.2.0's awk works just fine with your example scripts
