[SAC-HELP] SC (System Command) using an escape character (@) in a macro does not work

[andreas wessel]

Nancy,

Your first example works fine for me.
So maybe your SAC or awk version is outdated? I'm using sac 100.1 and gawk
3.5.1 on Linux..

However, the second example is not working for some reason.

Good luck,
Andreas
