I wrote an ebook 2 months ago on Awk called "Awk One-Liners Explained."
http://www.catonmat.net/blog/awk-book/ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/awk-book/
It teaches Awk through many practical examples, so called one-liners, that are small and short programs that just do one task. Such as joining lines, printing lines matching a pattern, summing up numbers on lines, converting text, etc.
Check it out!

I still use it often (the famous python program link fails, btw). http://www.catonmat.net/blog/downloading-youtube-videos-with-gawk/ http://www.catonmat.net/blog/downloading-youtube-videos-with...
- pkrumins 15y agoYes, yes I did! :) It was more like proof of concept that GNU Awk is awesome and can do things like binary data IO and networking.
