AWK.ZIP Yes 69866 6/22/1989
AWK 2.10 is a sophisticated program for
scanning files for lines that match a

library perform this function on a simple
level, but AWK is more like a programming
language. For example, it has conditional
statements, variables, relational operators,
loops, and concantenation of patterns. AWK is
used mostly in two different ways: to print
reports by printing selected fields and
extracting counts, sums and sub-totals, and
to convert data files from one format to
another (eg: rearranging fields). An example
of a practical use of AWK would be to clean
up message files downloaded from a bbs. (Rob
