- awk '{ for(i = 1; i <= NF; i++) { print $i; } }'
- Itterate over all fields
- awk -F"," -v VAR=<value> '{<code}'
- In awk: Use "," as fieldseparator, set VAR to <value> in.
String manipulation
- substr(<string>,<start>,<num>)
- From <sting> return <num> characters, starting from <start>
- n=split(var,ARR,<fs>)
- Split var in array ARR, n holds the number of elements in ARR, <fs> is the field separator, if not given the variable FS is used as field separator (default white space).
Default action of awk for read line is:
NF=split(var,ARR," ")
NR++
$0=var
for ( i=1 ; i<=NF ; i++ ) {
$i=ARR[i]
}
- gsub(<regexp>,<string>,<variable>)
- Replace <regexp> with <string> in <variable>. Return number of replacements.
- <variable> is modified.
Calculations
Print average of field 4 for all records in <file> containing 'GW'
awk 'BEGIN {}
/GW/ {GW+=$4}
END {print GW/NR}' <file>
Matching
- /<pattern>/ {code}
- Execute code if the current line matches <pattern>
- var ~ /<pattern>/ {code}
- Execute code if var matches <pattern>
- !~ to negate the match
