+#Subject: Problem in gawk with match
+#
+#Hello,
+#
+#gawk reports fatal error in match when first character in regexp is "=" :
+#
+#$ gawk '{ where = match($0, /=a/); print where}' 
+#gawk: cmd. line:1: { where = match($0, /=a/); print where}
+#gawk: cmd. line:1:                     ^ parse error
+#gawk: cmd. line:1: fatal: match() cannot have 0 arguments
+#
+#Using "\=" instead "=" works without problems :
+#
+#$ gawk '{ where = match($0, /\=a/); print where}'
+#sdgfa
+#0
+#asdfds=a
+#7
+#
+#Other versions of awk have no problems with "/=/" (except oawk on SunOS).
+#

+{ where = match($0, /=a/); print where}
