Re: inconstancy with RS = "(\r?\n){2}"

[Alex fxmbsw7 Ratchev]

i dont have such coloring, the input is 'foo\nbar\n\n\n\n..none\n'
then it prints the first time, then two control-d's or three are
needed to print the rest and end
..

gawk -v RS='(\r?\n){2}' -v ORS= '{ print "-" NR, $0, RT }'

foo
bar






none
-1 foo
bar

-2

-3

-4
none
