Originally developed by Alfred Aho, Brian Kernighan, and Peter Weinberger in 1977, AWK is a pattern-matching language for writing short programs to perform common data-manipulation tasks. In 1985, a new version of the language was developed, incorporating additional features such as multiple input files, dynamic regular expressions, and user-defined functions. This new version is available for both Unix and MS-DOS. This is the first book on AWK. It begins with a tutorial that shows how easy AWK is to use. The tutorial is followed by a comprehensive manual for the new version of AWK. Subsequent chapters illustrate the language by a range of useful applications, such as: *Retrieving, transforming, reducing, and validating data *Managing small, personal databases *Text processing *Little languages *Experimenting with algorithms The examples illustrates the book's three themes: showing how to use AWK well, demonstrating AWK's versatility, and explaining how common computing operations are done. In addition, the book contains two appendixes: summary of the language, and answers to selected exercises. 020107981XB04062001
As we said earlier, this is a long chapter, packed with details, and you are dedicated indeed if you have read every word to get here. You will find that it pays to go back and re-read sections from time to time, either to see precisely how something works, or because one of the examples in later chapters suggests a construction that you might not have tried before.

和The C programming language一样，这是一本200页左右的书。翻翻这本书的目录，你会发现，它只用了60页两个章节的篇幅介绍awk的语法，而剩下的篇幅都是用awk做为一个简洁紧凑的玩具语言，通过各种通俗易懂的程序，来向你展示从关系型数据库到编译器以及unix系统上各种常用程序...

简要说明：日常使用看前两章就够了。 这是 Awk 语言的作者写的权威之作，很详尽； 但缺点是有些基础内容过于啰嗦：讲语法的时候会假定读者没学过C语言，很大一段篇幅讲C语法；后面的章节还用 Awk 写排序算法，这个真的就有点画蛇添足了。。。

翻一翻，后面不用看了，用法掌握就可以了

获益匪浅，作者们不是用语法手册的方式来介绍自己发明的语言而是通过针对不同深度需求层次的用户渐进性地介绍语言的基础、特性、注意点、技巧以及发明语言的由来。娓娓道来的结果，好像读者与作者们一起经历了如何写好 awk 的由浅入深的过程。不枯燥也不啰嗦，静下心来好好阅读真的比网上所谓的速成 copy-paste 收获到太多。最后凡是吐槽这本200来页的书定价150多美元的人，麻烦多调查一下，原书是附带 D... 获益匪浅，作者们不是用语法手册的方式来介绍自己发明的语言而是通过针对不同深度需求层次的用户渐进性地介绍语言的基础、特性、注意点、技巧以及发明语言的由来。娓娓道来的结果，好像读者与作者们一起经历了如何写好 awk 的由浅入深的过程。不枯燥也不啰嗦，静下心来好好阅读真的比网上所谓的速成 copy-paste 收获到太多。最后凡是吐槽这本200来页的书定价150多美元的人，麻烦多调查一下，原书是附带 DOS CD的，不止是单书。 (展开)
