Hi,

Can anyone explain me the use of awk with example in a brief? I heared that it's a language but how it's useful in unix and how to use it in shell script.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link but I need to know basic use of awk. That's it. I will definitely read this link whenever I get leisure time.
