Learning Awk.
Episodes about using Awk, the text manipulation language. It comes in various forms called awk, nawk, mawk and gawk, but the standard version on Linux is GNU Awk (gawk). It's a programming language optimised for the manipulation of delimited text.
Gnu Awk - Part 2
This is the second episode in a series where b-yeezi and I will be looking at the AWK language (more particularly its GNU variant gawk). It is a comprehensive interpreted scripting language designed to be used for manipulating text.
I have written out a moderately long set of notes for this episode and these are available here https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr2129/full_shownotes.html.
