I get the same result with gawk 3.0.4 on Linux and Solaris: bash-2.04$ awk 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0f\n",3.14; exit}' 0000000003 Seems to be fixed in gawk-3.1.0 at least. I just downloaded and built it with latest cygwin and I get: .../gawk-3.1.0$ ./gawk.exe 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0g\n",3.14; exit}' 3 Perhaps you could convince the cygwin gawk package maintainer to update to 3.1.0. But in the meantime, you can compile 3.1.0 yourself to work around the problem. If you've done a full cygwin install, it's literally as simple as download and then ./configure ; make Troy -----Original Message----- From: Morten Nygaard Aasnes [mailto:mortenn@imr.no] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 9:53 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: 1.3.1: printf bug in awk? There seems to be a bug in GNU Awk 3.0.4 comming with Cygwin 1.3.4. Using printf with precision 0, it fills with zeros instead of spaces. $ awk 'BEGIN {printf "%10.0f\n",3.14; exit}' 0000000003 -- Morten Nygaard Åsnes Institute of Marine Research Email: mortenn@imr.no Postboks 1870 Nordnes Phone: (+47) 55238645 5817 Bergen - Norway (+47) 92869214 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
