How can I make running gawk scripts more user-friendly in a Windows environment?
I know, and I apologise for using the W word, but I have users asking if they can use my gawk scripts, but I just know they're not going to like using the DOS command line.
Is there any way for me to run my gawk scripts from a gui? Even if it's from a web page (html, php, what ever). I do not know if DOS batch files are capable of passing command line arguments the same way as unix shell scripts are, I guess I'll be looking into that too but just thought that I would ask here as well in case anyone has come across this problem before.

docbook2gjots
DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1) General Commands Manual DOCBOOK2GJOTS(1)
NAME
docbook2gjots - Convert a DOCBOOK file to gjots format (on stdout)
SYNOPSIS
docbook2gjots [ DOCBOOK-file ]
DESCRIPTION
docbook2gjots converts a DOCBOOK XML file into gjots format.
docbook2gjots uses gawk(1) to perform the conversion.
<preface>, <chapter>, <section>, <sect1>, <sect2>, <sect3> and <sect4> tags are used to define NewEntry and NewFolder boundaries. They
should definitely have <title> tags.
This is a quick and dirty hack using gawk(1) and does no formal checking of XML or SGML syntax nor does it validate against the DOCBOOK
DTD. Consequently, if the syntax of the file is broken the conversion will probably fail.
It is intended that a round-trip can be made so that gjots(1) can be used as a tool at all stages of DOCBOOK production - mainly as an out-
line processor to help the author organise and order the work. A document may well start its life in gjots(1) as the initial thoughts are
marshalled. As the document forms up, it can be converted to DOCBOOK with the following command which automatically adds tags such as
<?xml...>, <para> etc:
gjots2docbook -b file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
Or, starting with an existing DOCBOOK file:
docbook2gjots file.xml >file.gjots
In the latter case, the document will already have a lot of DOCBOOK tags so to convert back to docbook, add the -e and -p options:
gjots2docbook -b -p -e file.gjots >file.xml
docbook2pdf file.xml
