Re: gawk 3.1.3: $1 float interpretation

[Carlos Soria del Hoyo]

Hello. Some more questions, if you are so kind.

I want to write some C/C++ code that will make use of some of the 
functionalities of GAWK. Is there something as a 'C API' of 'libgawk' to call 
gawk functions from C code? Same question about regular expression.

Thank you.

Carlos.
