I'm way out of practice but I'm trying to scroll through a text file and
print any line that contains "Location". This ought to work but
doesn't. I'm missing something really basic!
awk '{
/*Location*/ { print }
}' IN > OUT
the "{" in "{ print }" produces a syntax error. It does this no matter
what is in "/ /".
