$x bug

[Christoph Moser]

Hi.


  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/,/,"§",$1);print $0}'
  5§4 4,6 6,7
  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/\,/,"§",$1);print $0}'
  5§4 4,6 6,7
  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/[,]/,"§",$1);print $0}'
  5§4 4,6 6,7
  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/[\,]/,"§",$1);print $0}'
  5§4 4,6 6,7

I think this is a bug. The result should be

  5§4;4,6;6,7

  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/4/,"_",$2);print $0}'
  5,4 _,6 6,7
  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{sub(/4/,"_",$2);print $0}'
  5,4 _,6 6,7
  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{$1=3;print $0}'
  3 4,6 6,7

  > echo "5,4;4,6;6,7" | gawk -F ";" '{gsub(/4/,"_",$0);print $0}'
  5,_;_,6;6,7
