Hi,

Apparently Corinna V. (the maintainer of gawk) is not available at the moment.

?????

gsub(regexp, replacement[, target])

echo "This:is:a:colon:separated:line:%%%:" | awk '{
  gsub(/%/, "%25");
  gsub(/:/, "%3A");
  print
  }'

I am not surprised to see these specific warnings ...

See 3.2 (esacpe sequences) of GAWK: Effective AWK programming.

    ( [ANNOUNCEMENT] gawk 5.0.0-1 )

Using version 5 of gawk?
