gawk (3.1.5)
If you are like many computer users, you would frequently like
to make changes in various text files wherever certain patterns
appear, or extract data from parts of certain lines while
discarding the rest.
To write a program to do this in a language such as C or Pascal
is a time-consuming inconvenience that may take many lines of
code.
The job is easy with awk, especially the GNU implementation:
gawk.
