RE: "%'d" format print modifier

[Vsevolod Myassin]

Hi there,

 

I’ve found that "%'d\n" format modifier does not work properly with GAWK
being installed on VISTA with English AU locale – which supports “,” as
thousands separator.

 

Please, see below program syntax and output:

 

*** PROGRAM ***

 

BEGIN {

val=123456789;

printf("%'d\n", val);

}

 

*** PROGRAM END ***

 

*** OUTPUT ****

 

 

C:\Users\zmei\Documents\AWK & SED>gawk -f text-1.awk

123i456i789

 

C:\Users\zmei\Documents\AWK & SED>gawk -f text-1.awk

123w456w789

 

 

C:\Users\zmei\Documents\AWK & SED>gawk -f text-1.awk

123|456|789

 

 

C:\Users\zmei\Documents\AWK & SED>gawk -f text-1.awk

123Ó456Ó789

 

*** OUTPUT END *******

 

Changing environment variable (LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8) does not help either.

 

If workaround for this problem on VISTA exists, please, let me know.

 

Regards,
