That's great to hear.
Are you planning to add support for xml, json, etc next? Something like Python's `json` module that gives you a dictionary object.
- benhoyt 4y agoI'm not considering adding general structured formats like XML or JSON, as they don't fit AWK's "fields and records" model or its simplistic data structure (the associative array) very well. However, I have considered adding JSON Lines support, where each line is a record, and fields are indexable using the new @"named-field" syntax (possibly nested like @"foo.bar").
- asicsp 4y agoThanks, JSON Lines support would be welcome too :)
