Description
Effective awk Programming by Arnold Robbins provides a comprehensive guide to the awk language and its GNU implementation, gawk. This practical reference covers both POSIX-standard awk and gawk, making it suitable for novices and experienced users alike. You'll learn how to format text, process data, manage relationships, define functions, and debug programs using awk's operators, built-in functions, and advanced features of gawk. Two full chapters of sample functions and programs will help you think in awk, while the book also covers extending gawk with new functions in C or C++.
