You can always write AWK in a file and read the script with -f, making it fully readable (and AWK is quite a pleasantly readable and surprisingly versatile language to write at that point)
- asicsp 7y agoto add to this, if you've coded one-liner first, you can convert to script using -o option for ex: awk -o '{ORS = NR%2 ? " " : RS} 1' gives (default output file is awkprof.out) { ORS = (NR % 2 ? " " : RS) } 1 { print $0 }
