The awk Programming Language (Paperback)

Awk was developed in 1977 at Bell Labs, and it's still a remarkably useful tool for solving a wide variety of problems quickly and efficiently. In this update of the classic Awk book, the creators of the language show you what Awk can do and teach you how to use it effectively.

Here's what programmers today are saying: "I love Awk." "Awk is amazing." "It is just so damn good." "Awk is just right." "Awk is awesome." "Awk has always been a language that I loved."

It's easy: "Simple, fast and lightweight." "Absolutely efficient to learn because there isn't much to learn." "3-4 hours to learn the language from start to finish." "I can teach it to new engineers in less than 2 hours."

It's productive: "Whenever I need to do a complex analysis of a semi-structured text file in less than a minute, Awk is my tool." "Learning Awk was the best bang for buck investment of time in my entire career." "Designed to chew through lines of text files with ease, with great defaults that minimize the amount of code you actually have to write to do anything."

It's always available: "AWK runs everywhere." "A reliable Swiss Army knife that is always there when you need it." "Many systems lack Perl or Python, but include Awk."

Awk是在1977年在貝爾實驗室開發的，至今仍然是一個非常有用的工具，可以快速高效地解決各種問題。在這本經典Awk書籍的更新版中，該語言的創造者向您展示了Awk的功能，並教您如何有效地使用它。

以下是今天的程式設計師們的評價:「我喜歡Awk。」「Awk太神奇了。」「它就是太好了。」「Awk剛剛好。」「Awk太棒了。」「Awk一直是我喜愛的語言。」

它很容易上手:「簡單、快速和輕量級。」「學習起來非常高效，因為沒有太多需要學習的內容。」「從頭到尾學習這個語言只需要3-4個小時。」「我可以在不到2個小時的時間內教新工程師學會它。」

它很高效:「每當我需要在不到一分鐘內對半結構化的文本文件進行複雜分析時，Awk就是我的工具。」「學習Awk是我整個職業生涯中時間投資最划算的事情。」「Awk設計用於輕鬆處理文本文件的行，具有優秀的默認值，可以最大程度地減少您實際需要編寫的代碼量。」

它始終可用:「AWK無處不在。」「它是一把可靠的瑞士軍刀，當您需要時總是在那裡。」「許多系統缺乏Perl或Python，但包含Awk。」
