echo -n 'a001~!+rr001~!+1~!+TEST DATA 1' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="~!+"} {print $2}'
I have the field separator set to “~!+” and want to print the second field.
AWK prints an extraneous + with rr001 as +rr001 .
What am I doing wrong?
$ echo -n 'a001~!+rr001~!+1~!+TEST DATA 1' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="~!\\+"} {print $2}' rr001Double escaping also seems to do the job.
