is there a compatible awk.exe file for windows 2000 server?

[ACA]

hi,

is there a compatible awk.exe for windows server 2000?

one of our scripts uses awk.exe and this script works when run in windows xp environment (command prompt) but it does not work properly (expected output not attained) when run in windows 2000 server.

what should i do?

thanks!

Hi Aca

Did you find an answer yet?

It seems that file is mainly found in Unix/Linux/Solaris type environments - does your script run in a Cygwin shell?

In XP, your script invokes awk something like this?
awk -f c:\directory\unique_path -- ...options...

See if the following Compatibility List helps at all - if you scroll down the list you'll see a few mentions of Windows 95/NT and versions of Cygnus Cygwin that might provide some clues. I wasn't able to find a direct link that was a clear enough solution.

Oops. Looks like I didn't paste in the link to the awk.exe compatibility list the other night. Sorry about that: here's the link:
