AWK programming language

AWK is a powerful programming language designed for text processing and data extraction. It allows users to manipulate and analyze structured data, such as tables or files, by using simple commands. Originating from the initials of its creators—Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan—AWK is particularly useful in Unix-based systems. Users can write scripts to search, filter, and format data efficiently. It excels at tasks like generating reports and transforming data formats, making it a popular choice for system administrators, data analysts, and anyone working with text files.
