Hi,

i try to develop some solutions with awk on a Windows NT 4.0,

One of the features of awk on UNIX is to evaluate inputs which
i can receive from a pipe.

But on NT i can't do so !

for example the following awk-script doesn't work:

    {
        "ls -l | sort -r " | getline xxx;
        print xxx;
    }

The commands ls and sort do not work in that example.

On a Unix-System it works very well.

Please give me a little help....

CU
