:::Now that you mention it, "Program name" sounds better. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 02:59, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
: This wiki likes "Names like this", but some other wikis like NamesLikeThis. So I am not surprised that some users create ScriptName or NamesLikeThis in this wiki. --[[User:Kernigh|Kernigh]] 01:39, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 
==AWK==
 
The awk solution does not work for me. I pasted the code into an executable script file test.awk as follows:
 
#!/usr/bin/awk
BEGIN {
"ls" | getline file
close("ls")
print "This file is " file
}
 
I then run my script test.awk as follows:
 
./test.awk
 
This gives an error: awk: 1: unexpected character '.'
 
My awk interpreter is mawk, if that matters.
