1st paragraph |
1st paragraph under section 2.4. Using Character Lists
The text reads:
"instead it might be equivalent to [aBbCcDdxXyYz], for example"
I believe it should say,
"instead it might be equivalent to [AaBbCcDdxXyYz], for example" (notice upper case A)?

Changing the contents of a field |
The first code on Page 39
awk '{ nboxes = $3 ; $3 = $3 - 10
> print nboxes, $3}' inventory-shipped
should actually return the following result:
ifiaz@nimitz:/tmp/fiaz > awk '{ nboxes = $3; $3 = $3 - 10
print nboxes, $3}' invshipped
25 15
32 22
24 14
...
...
instead of as the book shows:
13 3
15 5
15 5
which is for nboxes=$2 and $2 = $2 - 10.

4th line from bottom |
where it says :
awk -f program -- options files
shouldn't this read :
awk -f program options -- files
as the "--" (signifying the end of the command line options) should come after the options and before the files ?
and again on the following page (6th line) where it says :
cut.awk -- -c1-8 myfiles > results
shouldn't this read (for the same reason) :
cut.awk -c1-8 -- myfiles > results
