Can anybody using tawk run next code:
$ awk -f test.awk test.2 test.1
....
#8<- test.awk ------------------------------------------------------
{
print FILENAME": before: "$0
getline
print FILENAME": after: "$0
}
ENDFILE {
print "endfile for "FILENAME
}
#8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
data file test.2 (only 3 lines):
1
2
3
data file test.1 (only 2 lines):
1
2
....
and show the output? Thanks a lot.

I got what I expected, but it is interesting. I never thought about
triggering an ENDFILE rule from within another rule (only possible via
getline). But it does work as expected:
C:\>awkw -f pete file1 file2
file1: before: 1
file1: after: 2
file1: before: 3
endfile for file1
file2: after: 1
file2: before: 2
endfile for file2
file2: after:
C:\>
I assume that BEGINFILE would behave similarly.

Peter and Manuel are currently exploring such corner cases
in their discussion on the xmlgawk mailing list. Manuel has
already found some interesting cases and Peter has already
fixed some bugs in his implementation.

I think that's what Peter wanted to know.

If you are interested in such details (user expectations,
symmetry of BEGINFILE and ENDFILE) you are invited to
contribute your comments to the mailing list:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...o/xmlgawk-users
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/...lgawk-developer
Thanks for trying Peter's test case cited above.
