oups i dit it again
:o :D




A) /^$/ {
print x += 1
}


Â) /^$/ {
print x++
}

Kalimera! :)

I'm not an expert in awk <grin> but
in C/C++ "x += 1" and "x++" can be
used synonymously...

where are u from tinkster?
Geia sou ellada!!

It looks like they're both the same. In C/C++, at least, I think they'd do the same thing.

print x++ prints x, then increments (post-increment, they call it)
print ++x increments x, then prints (pre-increment I guess)

Don't know if the same applies in awk though.

hi alaios,

"print x +=1;" is same as "print ++x;" or "print x =x+1;" whereas "print x++" could be substituted by "print x +=0;" or "print x =x+0;"

Hope you get the idea.

A) /^$/ {
print x += 1
}

B) /^$/ {
print x++
}

Thus A would print the number of empty lines beginning with 1 whereas B would begin with 0.
