If you are a novice awk user, you might want to skip it on the first reading. gawk provides a facility for dealing with fixed-width fields with no distinctive field separator. For example, data of this nature arises in the input for old Fortran programs where numbers are run together, or in the output of programs that did not anticipate the use of their output as input for other programs. An example of the latter is a table where all the columns are lined up by the use of a variable number of spaces and empty fields are just spaces. The splitting of an input record into fixed-width fields is specified by assigning a string containing space-separated numbers to the built-in variable FIELDWIDTHS.
The following program takes the above input, converts the idle time to number of seconds, and prints out the first two fields and the calculated idle time: Awk - A Tutorial and Introduction - by Bruce Barnett.

Gawk for Windows. AWK CookBook : Welcome! AWK CookBook : Statistics. Eiso's awk scripts. AWK Programming. AWK is a simple and elegant pattern scanning and processing language.
I would call it the first and last simple scripting language. AWK is also the most portable scripting language in existence. It's the precursor and the main inspiration of Perl. Although originated in Unix it is available and widely used in Windows environment too. It was created in late 70th of the last century almost simultaneously with Borne shell. AWK takes two inputs: data file and command file. Most people are surprised when I tell them what language we use in our undergraduate AI programming class. The main advantage of AWK is that unlike Perl and other "scripting monsters" that it is very slim without feature creep so characteristic of Perl and thus it can be very efficiently used with pipes.
Generally Perl might be better for really complex tasks, but this is not always the case. IMHO the original book that describes AWK ( Alfred V.
