Using Double Quotes as Record Separator in AWK

Question

Question says it all. I've tried using awk 'BEGIN{RS=\"} /Match/{print $0}' input and every combination of escaping and quoting I could think of. Any Ideas how to pull this off?

Answer 1

you can use \042.

awk 'BEGIN{RS="\042"}{}' file

or

awk -vRS='"' '{}' file

Answer 2

This also works:

awk 'BEGIN{RS="\""} /Match/{print $0}'
