Note that the first code he writes on the page

awk "{print $0}"

does not work. Awk programs need single quotes to prevent bash expansion.

Depends on the shell one uses, i think. On the other hand, who doesn't use bash these days.

This can be simplified. :-)

    awk 1

Assuming you're using the Bash shell.

Same thing happens on Bourne shell, or Korn shell.

Doh. Fixed.
