 AWK programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AWK is a general purpose computer language that is designed for processing text based data, either in files or data streams.
Awk is an example of a programming language that extensively uses the string datatype, associative arrays (that is, arrays indexed by key strings), and regular expressions.
Awk is one of the early tools to appear in Version 7 Unix and gained popularity as a way to add computational features to a Unix pipeline.
