po2pot using awk command running Puppy Precise? [SOLVED]

[Argolance]

Hello,
This command line worked fine running Puppy Racy 5.3 but don't anymore running Puppy Precise 5.4.3

Code: Select all

msgfilter --keep-header  -i input.po  -o empty.po  awk -e '{}'

This is what I get in console:

Usage: awk [POSIX or GNU style options] -f progfile [--] file ...
Usage: awk [POSIX or GNU style options] [--] 'program' file ...

To report bugs, see node `Bugs' in `gawk.info', which is
section `Reporting Problems and Bugs' in the printed version.

gawk is a pattern scanning and processing language.
By default it reads standard input and writes standard output.

Examples:
gawk '{ sum += $1 }; END { print sum }' file
gawk -F: '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd
msgfilter: Sous-processus awk terminé avec le code de sortie 1

What's wrong? The option -e of awk (GNU Awk 3.1.8 on Puppy Precise) seems not to be supported?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

msgfilter --keep-header  -i input.po  -o empty.po  awk -e '{}'

...

This line does it (plus a bit of editing by me):

# msgfilter --keep-header -i ROX-Filer.po -o ROX-Filer.pot awk -e '{}'

I would generate the .pot file from the sources (that is how it is usually done )

Hello L18L,
Thank you for answering.

This line does it (plus a bit of editing by me):

# msgfilter --keep-header -i ROX-Filer.po -o ROX-Filer.pot awk -e '{}'

This is indeed where I found it...

I would generate the .pot file from the sources (that is how it is usually done)

This is "usually" right.
But this code line can be useful though (I used it before and currently need it inside a script for my own) and I was wondering why it works fine running Racy 5.3 but not, running Precise, and, perhaps, how to solve this?

Cordialement.

I have no idea how to solve this by myself.
You could report this in bug section for precise

Hello,
Found the solution: awk version which comes with Racy is 4.0.0 and the one which comes with Puppy Precise is 3.1.8.

You could report this in bug section for precise

this is what I am doing now...
Thank you!

Cordialement.
