Udi,
This doesn't work for me, possibly because -F specifies the
Field Separator, not the Record Separator.
I wander, I checked it on Solaris7 (awk, nawk) and RedHat7.2
please, try in you system:
yarkon~% echo -n "hello:" | awk -F":" '{print $1; print NF}'
hello
2
yarkon~%
Is ":" a Field Separator or Record Separator? (notice the "-n")
Maybe the gnu has different answer.
However, for procmail usage I belive that tr(1) or cut(1) are
much more efficient and elegant.
Bye,
Udi
