Thankyou to all for the replies. This makes musch more sense now. Cheers Chris Paul Eggert wrote:
Stepan Kasal <kasal@xxxxxx> writes:I noticed that Paul Eggert uses '{print $ 1}'.Yes, I found that to be by far the best solution, as '$ 1' makes it clear that it's the Awk '$1' rather than the M4 '$1'. The $[1], [$]1, and $[]1 solutions are used when you're trying to quote the m4 '$1', and they work for Awk too, but it might confuse the reader into thinking that another level of M4 quoting might be involved. (The @S|@1 solution is too ugly for words, of course.) _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
