Subject: trailing newlines
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 1992 13:18:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9204171318.AA11278@skeeve.ATL.GA.US> (raw)
OK, here's another try, (tested, even!):
x = '
string
with lots
of
embedded newlines
'
gawk '
{
if (! first)
print save
else
first = 1
save = $0
}
END { printf ("%s", save) }' <<< $x
Your luck with other awks may vary, particularly when processing
binary data; I have much higher confidence in gawk in that regard.
