Well, I think so. The idea is that you shouldn't have to give up the most intrinsic part of AWK (the pattern/action paradigm) just because your input isn't a named (i.e., on the command line) file. I think of it as "rehabilitating getline". Bringing it back into the fold, rather than exiling it to the sidelines. Note also that my "pipeline" extension only handles the case of a simple process (either input or output - i.e., like AWK's "getline" and "print" with "|" redirection). It doesn't handle any of the other variations of getline/print - such as the ones that interface with network sockets. It would be nice if a built-in approach did those things as well (and better than my extension does). -- The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4 lines long. As such, it violates one or more Usenet RFCs. In order to remain in compliance with said RFCs, the actual sig can be found at the following URL: http://user.xmission.com/~gazelle/Sigs/FreeCollege
