In my awk script I have a variable that contains a substr of the input record.
This variable contains a DOS path name and I want to replace the backward
slashes \ with forward slashes /

Can I do substitution like this on a variable in awk, or do I need to use gsub
on the input record. In either case, what is the syntax?
