[Carlson, Doug]

Hello-

I recently downloaded your gnuwin32 version of gawk.  However, whenever
I was attempting to run commands with it, I was repeatedly getting
syntax errors.  After repeated efforts to rectify this issue, I have
come to the conclusion that I'm either a complete retard and I'm missing
something obvious, or else there is a bug with the program.  Below is an
example of the output that I am receiving when I run the command from
cmd.  Can someone clear up whether this is a bug or if its user error?
At this point, the program is unusable. 

D:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin>gawk '/Why not working/ { print $1 }'

Gawk: cmd. Line:1: '/Why
Gawk: cmd.line:1: ^ invalid char ''' in expression

Thanks,
