.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.I Awk
|
|
|
|
scans each input
|
|
|
|
.I file
|
|
|
|
for lines that match any of a set of patterns specified literally in
|
2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.I prog
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
or in one or more files
|
|
|
|
specified as
|
|
|
|
.B \-f
|
|
|
|
.IR progfile .
|
|
|
|
With each pattern
|
|
|
|
there can be an associated action that will be performed
|
|
|
|
when a line of a
|
|
|
|
.I file
|
|
|
|
matches the pattern.
|
|
|
|
Each line is matched against the
|
|
|
|
pattern portion of every pattern-action statement;
|
|
|
|
the associated action is performed for each matched pattern.
|
|
|
|
The file name
|
|
|
|
.B \-
|
|
|
|
means the standard input.
|
|
|
|
Any
|
2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.I file
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
of the form
|
|
|
|
.I var=value
|
|
|
|
is treated as an assignment, not a filename,
|
|
|
|
and is executed at the time it would have been opened if it were a filename.
|
|
|
|
The option
|
|
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
|
|
followed by
|
|
|
|
.I var=value
|
|
|
|
is an assignment to be done before
|
|
|
|
.I prog
|
|
|
|
is executed;
|
|
|
|
any number of
|
|
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
|
|
options may be present.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.B \-F

2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.I fs
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
option defines the input field separator to be the regular expression
|
2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.IR fs .
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
An input line is normally made up of fields separated by white space,
|
2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
or by the regular expression
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR FS .
|
|
|
|
The fields are denoted
|
|
|
|
.BR $1 ,
|
|
|
|
.BR $2 ,
|
|
|
|
\&..., while
|
|
|
|
.B $0
|
|
|
|
refers to the entire line.
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
.BR FS
|
|
|
|
is null, the input line is split into one field per character.
|
|
|
|
.PP

A pattern-action statement has the form:
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
.IB pattern " { " action " }
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
A missing
|
|
|
|
.BI { " action " }
|
|
|
|
means print the line;
|
|
|
|
a missing pattern always matches.
|
|
|
|
Pattern-action statements are separated by newlines or semicolons.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
An action is a sequence of statements.
|
|
|
|
A statement can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
.EX

Statements are terminated by
|
|
|
|
semicolons, newlines or right braces.
|
|
|
|
An empty
|
|
|
|
.I expression-list
|
|
|
|
stands for
|
|
|
|
.BR $0 .
|
|
|
|
String constants are quoted \&\f(CW"\ "\fR,
|
|
|
|
with the usual C escapes recognized within.
|
|
|
|
Expressions take on string or numeric values as appropriate,
|
|
|
|
and are built using the operators
|
|
|
|
.B + \- * / % ^
|
|
|
|
(exponentiation), and concatenation (indicated by white space).
|
|
|
|
The operators
|
|
|
|
.B
|
|
|
|
! ++ \-\- += \-= *= /= %= ^= > >= < <= == != ?:
|
|
|
|
are also available in expressions.
|
|
|
|
Variables may be scalars, array elements
|
|
|
|
(denoted
|
2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00
|
|
|
.IB x [ i ] \fR)
|
2001-10-27 08:07:37 +00:00
|
|
|
or fields.
|
|
|
|
Variables are initialized to the null string.
|
|
|
|
Array subscripts may be any string,
|
|
|
|
not necessarily numeric;
|
|
|
|
this allows for a form of associative memory.
|
|
|
|
Multiple subscripts such as
|
|
|
|
.B [i,j,k]
|
|
|
|
are permitted; the constituents are concatenated,
|
|
|
|
separated by the value of
|
|
|
|
.BR SUBSEP .
|
|
|
|
.PP
|

The
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

statement prints its arguments on the standard output

and
|
|
|
|
.I cmd
|

identical string values in different statements denote
|

the same open file.

The

.B printf

2019-06-02 04:23:56 +00:00

Patterns are arbitrary Boolean combinations
|
|
|
|
(with
|
|
|
|
.BR "! || &&" )
|
|
|
|
of regular expressions and
|
|
|
|
relational expressions.
|
|
|
|
Regular expressions are as in
|
|
|
|
.IR egrep ;
|
|
|
|
see
|
|
|
|
.IR grep (1).
|
|
|
|
Isolated regular expressions
|
|
|
|
in a pattern apply to the entire line.
|
|
|
|
Regular expressions may also occur in
|
|
|
|
relational expressions, using the operators

is a constant regular expression;

any string (constant or variable) may be used
|

as a regular expression, except in the position of an isolated regular expression
|
|
|

in a pattern.

|

A pattern may consist of two patterns separated by a comma;

in this case, the action is performed for all lines

from an occurrence of the first pattern
|
|
|

though an occurrence of the second.

A conditional is an arithmetic expression,

function foo(a, b, c) { ...; return x }

Parameters are passed by value if scalar and by reference if array name;

functions may be called recursively.
|

|
|
Parameters are local to the function; all other variables are global.

Thus local variables may be created by providing excess parameters in

the function definition.

|
|
|
There are no explicit conversions between numbers and strings.
|
|
|
|
To force an expression to be treated as a number add 0 to it;
|
|
|
|
to force it to be treated as a string concatenate
|
|
|
|
\&\f(CW""\fP to it.
