Re: bin/53885 (awk ERE bug)

Synopsis: awk ERE bug

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: jdolecek%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Fri, 18 Jan 2019 14:35:28 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
nawk doesn't support {} in regular expressions. e.g. this also fails:
echo "aaa" | nawk '/a{3}/ { print "matched" }'
As Kernigham notes in https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/issues/26 changing
this would be very difficult.
