I'd suggest just installing `gawk` from Homebrew and using it instead of having to guess which sort of crippled `awk` you're lucky to be using. The same thing stands for GNU coreutils (`brew install coreutils`); here's macOS `cut` vs GNU `cut` as a quick example. ~ $ cut --help cut: illegal option -- - usage: cut -b list [-n] [file ...] cut -c list [file ...] cut -f list [-s] [-d delim] [file ...] ~ $ gcut --help Usage: gcut OPTION... [FILE]... Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -b, --bytes=LIST select only these bytes -c, --characters=LIST select only these characters -d, --delimiter=DELIM use DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter -f, --fields=LIST select only these fields... -n (ignored) --complement complement the set of selected bytes, characters or fields -s, --only-delimited do not print lines not containing delimiters --output-delimiter=STRING use STRING as the output delimiter the default is to use the input delimiter -z, --zero-terminated line delimiter is NUL, not newline --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit
