jawk

Description: Awk implemented in Java

Jawk is an interpreter/compiler for the AWK programming language for Java. The program interprets / compiles AWK scripts, executing within the JVM. Unlike prior versions, Jawk provides an efficient execution environment for AWK with minimal enhancements to the language.

Packager's note: If you use the jawk script you are limited to 9 parameters, and remember that '-o filename' counts as two. If you need more, you will have to do the whole 'java -jar jawk.jar etc etc' thing. The script also needs to cd to the jawk directory (probably /boot/system/apps/jawk) so give full pathnames to files.

Enter 'jawk -h' for quick instructions or see the jawk documentation directory.

Adapted and packaged for Haiku by Michel Clasquin-Johnson. Tested on Haiku R1/beta5 x86_64.

Requires: The latest Java runtime from the official Haiku repositories. At the time of writing, installing openjdk21_default will see you through.
