AWK is a programming language designed for text processing and typically used for a data extraction and reporting tool. It is a standard feature of Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, MacOS and most Unix-like systems.

This is one of my favorite books. It is a superb book if you are looking to learn about AWK. AWK is very fast when it comes to data processing. I highly recommend this classic book to all Unix fans.
