AWK Command Guide With Examples

[nathan-sr]

I mentioned briefly about the power of the awk command for large data processing over numerous files, in my other post, but did not provide any examples, which viewers could use.

Here, in this post, I am attaching an easy guide, from which, all Examples can be copied and pasted on to a Terminal ( for urxvt terminal use shift+insert keys OR middle click mouse to Paste - or else install LXTerminal or XCFE Terminal for ease of use ) and test these examples for learning.

This guide is taken from an online tutorial site and all credits goes to its authors.

Hope you find this guide very useful for your work.

I think you could give this link (which seems to open the content okay): https://www.tutorialspoint.com/awk/index.htm

But I doubt you can publish that mht.zip copy of the material since tutorialspoint user agreement states:

I could be wrong, but that's how I read the terms of use and leave it to @rockedge to decide. We do have to be careful on the forum regarding content allowed to be posted here.

It certainly looks like a nice AWK tutorial, and I agree that it is a great (and underused on this forum) language.
