AWK

Programming Languages

AWK is a text-processing programming language and command-line utility built into Unix and Linux systems, named after its creators Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan. It excels at scanning delimited text files (like CSV or log files), splitting lines into fields, and performing pattern-matching and reporting tasks. System administrators and developers use it for quick data extraction, transformation, and one-liner scripts in shell pipelines.
