I have a file which is delimited with '#' (I know, dont ask). I
cannot figure out how to escape this in Emacs shell-mode, as in for an
awk script.
The following do not work:
awk -F# '{print $1}' filename
awk -F\# '{print $1}' filename
awk -F"#" '{print $1}' filename
awk -F'#' '{print $1}' filename
its not an awk problem, I get the same thing with join -t\#, etc.
Thanks,
Chris
