CeceliaI recently learned that you can make multiple statements in awk/gawk, separating them by semicolons, like many decent programming languages. This makes it relatively easy to assign various attributes and functions on extracted text to produce final output. Yes, even with a custom field splitter.Managing quotation marks is still tricky, though.I gotta share! Example for illustrative purposes:gawk -F’\t’ ‘{sub(“old-value”, “new-value”, $1); gsub(“ “, “-“, $2); match($1, /^[a-z]+/,newArray); newVariable = $2 “ new text ” newArray[1]; print “My changed output: “ newVariable;}’ input-file.txtIn this example I’ve specified a field separator (specifying the creation of $ numbered variables from input), used 3 functions (one creating an array variable), assigned a variable, and output text to the command line—with text from the given input file. Changing the “print” statement to a “system” function (i.e. system(newVariable)) lets you run your output as commands. So very handy.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/CommandLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommandLine</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Awk</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gawk</a>

Kees N ✅<a href="https://mastodon.online/@racchio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@racchio</a> To get more insight in what a script does, I sometimes do (with GNU awk AKA <a href="https://toot.community/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> ) gawk --lint=$lintfile --dump-variables=$dumpfile --profile=$proffile ... GNU awk also has a debugger, but I never used it; usually a few smartly placed `printf "...",... >"/dev/stderr" ` statements are sufficient to find the problem.

Ed W8EMVBefore I started <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/adventofcode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adventofcode</a> this year, I did a "day 0" with a trivial exercise and an excuse to get my test harness and makefiles in order. That was a good decision.I also decided to do AOC23 in awk, and I think I have relearned enough awk to understand why its best use is the one-liner and where it's increasingly horrible as the programs get bigger and more complex.So a decision and a poll.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/awk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#awk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc23</a>

Ed W8EMVDay 3 of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AdventofCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdventofCode</a> in the books.One notable feature of gawk that's not in goawk is "arrays of arrays", so I have an extra credit task to convert my array handling to something more portable so that the job will build on goawk as well.This was quite a bit harder than day 1 or day 2. My solution pulled the whole data set into memory in one pass, then computed the answer in a second pass.. I think memory usage could have been smaller with a single pass.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/goawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goawk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc23</a>

Ed W8EMVThings to like about gawk for Advent of Code.1. Hardly anyone else is doing it that language, so less chance of spoilers.2. Parsing the input file is very easy because a lot of boilerplate work is done or easy to do (implicit split of input field).3. Associative arrays (key-value arrays) as a language primitive. Wikipedia has a Rosetta Stone of sorts on equivalences in other languages where they are sometimes called maps, hashes, or dictionaries.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages_(associative_array)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages_(associative_array)</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/gawk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gawk</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aoc</a>

Doc Edward Morbius ⭕How Much Colorado Love? Or a 16-year Hacker News Front Page analyticsI've pulled 5,939 front pages from Hacker News, dating from 20 February 2007 to 25 May 2023, initially to answer the question "how often is Colorado mentioned on the front page?" (38 times, 5th most frequent US state).
