>To Perl connoisseurs, this feature may be known as Autovivification. In general, AWK is quite unequivocally a prototype of Perl. You can even say that Perl is a kind of AWK overgrowth on steroids… Before I learned Perl, I used to write non-trivial awk programs. Associative arrays, and other features are indeed very powerful. I'm no longer fluent, but I think I could still read a sophisticated awk script. Even sed can be used for some fancy processing (i.e scripts), if one knows regex well. |
