It seems like this command iterates each time on a different row so $1 is the first field of each row.. But what caused it to refer to each row ?.
What I mean is, how it knows that for the second iteration for example, $1 should be the first field of the second row rather then the first field of the first row again ?
Because:
that is the way awk is described to work,
there are no loops in your code to cause an input line in your file to be evaluated more than once,
if awk was designed to only process the 1st line in a file (instead of processing each line in a file), it wouldn't be able to process multi-million line input files,
et cetera.
What in the description of awk on your system made you think that awk should only process the first line in a file?
Hi All,
I probably miss something fundamental here.
I want to rename a bunch of files in subdirectories (that might contain white spaces) with names that are related.
I thought following could do the job:
find . -name *.sh -exec mv {} $(echo {} | sed -e 's/0/1/g') \;

I was wondering if it was possible to tell awk to print the output of a command in the print.
.... | awk '{print $0}'
I would like it to print the date right before $0, so something like (this doesn't work though)

Hi all,
after hours of playing around with this and scouring the web I decided to ask my fellow UNIX operators as I can't wrap my head around this.

igawk
IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
