幾天前在論壇看到一個帖子 http://bbs.chinaunix.net/thread-4184581-1-1.html 這是個挺有意思的問題。
我自己做了幾個試驗，發(fā)現00e1有這個問題，但是00a1、00b1、00c1等其它字符串卻沒有這個問題。
前天，懷著忐忑的心情給 bug-gawk@gnu.org 發(fā)了一封郵件：
[bug report] gawk doesn’t work correctly when assign special value to variable
To: bug-gawk@gnu.org
1. Symptom:
gawk doesn’s work correctly when assign special value (like 00e1) variable.
2. Steps to repeat this issue:
1) Download and compile the latest gawk 4.1.3
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/
[root]# gawk --version | head -2
GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991-2015 Free Software Foundation.
2) Prepare a test file
cat > 1.txt EOF
00e1 00e1
00e2 00e4
00e3 00e1_01
EOF
3) Execute following command to see the result
[root]# gawk -v var="00e1" '$2==var' 1.txt
00e1 00e1
00e2 00e4
The second line should not be there. Because "00e4" is NOT equal to "00e1" obviously.
Is it a bug or by design?
3. Workaround:
gawk -v var="00e1" '$2==""var' 1.txt
gawk -v var="^00e1___FCKpd___0quot; '$2~var' 1.txt
沒想到，昨天就收到了來自 Andrew J. Schorr 大神的回復，效率還真是高呢，32個贊：

This is a tricky area. Please check the manual for the discussion of "String Type versus Numeric Type":
http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Variable-Typing.html
I think the command-line assignment results in a variable of type STRNUM.

These examples may also be helpful:
bash-4.2$ gawk 'BEGIN {var = "00e1"} $2 == var' 1.txt
00e1 00e1
bash-4.2$ gawk 'BEGIN {var = 00e1} $2 == var' 1.txt
00e1 00e1
00e2 00e4

看完那篇文檔，似有所悟。但是還是沒搞清楚為啥00a1、00b1、00c1等字符串沒問題呢？
喝完一杯咖啡之后，恍然大悟：科學計數法！泥煤的~~~
