Open Source AWK Libraries

RunAWK is a small wrapper for AWK interpreter that helps write standalone programs in AWK. It provides support for modules and other powerful features. It comes with dozens of modules which provide efficient means for handling command line options, powerful functions for manipulating strings and arrays as well as sorting, mathematical, tmpfile, braceexpand functions and a lot of others.

Learn GNU awk is an example-based book and practice repository dedicated to mastering GNU awk for command-line text processing. It teaches the language through hundreds of short demonstrations rather than relying mainly on abstract syntax descriptions. Readers learn how awk can select records, work with fields, transform text, apply regular expressions, and build reusable processing commands. More advanced material develops progressively from the same practical style. The repository includes example files and code snippets so commands can be reproduced locally. Exercises test each major concept, and complete solutions are supplied in a separate document. An interactive TUI application also provides a hands-on way to practice selected exercises.

SPAWK stands for [S]QL [P]owerd AWK and is an elegant way for accessing and manipulating MySQL databases from within awk programs.
