Inconsistent FNR behavior with and without hyphen argument

[paulapatience]

Voilà: https://git.sr.ht/~paulapatience/prmindent.

A few caveats, though. There are no tests yet; I intend to add an organized test suite, but for now I've been testing the script by formatting a configuration file I created specifically for this purpose each time I make changes. Also, the script's hashbang line uses the -Wexec option of mawk and gawk. With goawk you need to run the script as goawk -f prmindent -- [ARG ...]. (This is all described in the documentation.) I'm actually going to presently open an issue requesting the -Wexec option be added to goawk; it is practical when writing Awk scripts that should look like regular command-line utilities.

Fixed on master. Thanks for the report!

Out of interest @paulapatience, what are you using GoAWK for, or what project are you using it in?

[paulapatience]

I wrote prmindent(1) — a formatter for configuration files written in the deal.II PRM format that I will be releasing as open source soon — in Awk. I made sure the script runs on as many versions of Awk as possible.

I enjoy using Awk and have kept an eye on GoAWK ever since I learned about it a year or so ago (from one of your posts that I saw on Hacker News), but didn't get a chance to try it out until now. (I recently submitted a patch to the Guix project adding a package for GoAWK, though I now realize I need to modify it because it exposes only the command itself and not the Go package.)

By the way, thank you for the prompt fixes!

@paulapatience Good to hear, thanks! Let me know when you've released prmindent, and I'll add it to my list of programs I can test GoAWK with.
