Let me know your feedback, especially if you haven’t learned awk
yet!

At an old place of work, someone wrote an awk script that parsed strings using regex from a CSV file, and it generated JavaScript code automatically. It was ~5000 lines of awk script, it was beautiful. I understood it after a couple of weeks, I was in charge of maintaining it, super interesting.
Really cool, use it sometimes but never understood it really. It is so useful to get strings from whatever file you want
Yeah, really, I only know
awk '{ print $SOME_COLUMN_NUMBER }'
, nothing else.
It’s strange to me people refer to the
awk
command rather than the AWK language.
