Syntax error when running cpm_collect.sh

[Simon Qu]

I downloaded cpm_collect.sh (A.03.14) and FTPed to hp-ux. When I ran it, I got error message:

Creating list of patches in ./dr12w.fs...

Any help will be much appreciated.

I would think that that should be !~ instead of !~~ . That's without looking at the script though.

Just to follow up, the man page for awk lists :

~
and
!~

but not
!~~

for operators.

Thanks. It worked.
