::I notice that the XML input file has now been changed. But the the task description needs to be changed, too. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 09:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
::Being the poster of the AWK solution, I have to admit it was a bit tongue-in-cheek - but also true to the XP rule "do the simplest thing that might possibly work", which the original code did for the original task. But rather than implement an XML parser in AWK, I'm rather ok with withdrawing the AWK code. --[[User:Suchenwi|Suchenwi]] 10:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:Please '''don't''' withdraw the AWK code. People who cut-n-paste code without a thought for its applicability deserve what they get. We write tasks, with give solutions to those tasks. Their is no way that we can cater for all unwritten problems of this type that a potential cut-n-paste user may have and we shouldn't pander to them. For some users with the awk solution might be fine - why penalise them? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
:I changed the task description slightly so that it now requires list of ''student names''. Maybe this is enough to specify the task? --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 14:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
