Why does regex `“.pdf”` match `/…/pdf…/…` in gawk, but not in mawk?
From How can I extract only the pid column and only the pathname column in the lsof output?
awk '{ for (i=9; i<=NF; i++) {
if ($i ~ "string" && $1 != "wineserv" && $5 == "REG" && $NF ~ ".pdf") {
$1=$2=$3=$4=$5=$6=$7=$8=""
print
}
}}'
The regex ".pdf"
matches /.../pdf.../...
in gawk, but not in mawk. I wonder why?
Thanks.
