AWK is a very useful scripting language for text processing. This language is executed by the awk interpreter. It allows the user to process some input, define variables, use logical operators, string and numeric functions, extract data and generate formatted reports. AWK’s syntax is very familiar to C language and it is a direct predecessor of Perl. All AWK scripts can be converted into Perl scripts using a2p utility.\u00a0In this tutorial, we will show you several practical examples of\u00a0awk command examples in Linux<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The AWK interpreter is a standard tool found on every Linux distribution.
