You can process text with any "modern" programming language you choose.

You should pick a programming language, assuming you work in an organization, based on the skill sets and tech support policies of the organization. If your shop is mostly python, then you should write text processing scripts in python; if you are in web shop using PHP, you should process test in PHP. The more different languages your organization must support, the more difficult (and expensive) it is. If you work in a shop with hard-core unix people who
have all their code base in shell scripts, then use these same scripts, based on the organizational culture, business model and skill sets.

So, the question you should ask yourself is "what is the programming language to process text in my organization based on the policy of the organization and the current and future skill sets of the staff?"

Most every programming language can process text. You should work within your organizations skill sets and match the programming needs with the skills of the staff, especially the younger staff, who will be around much younger than the retiring staff.

Having said that,

If you want to use awk and your organization supports this, you should be programming in awk and posting your code here for review and help.

Often the question "can I do this?" with this programming language is a veiled question to ask others to code for them.

Please show your own coding work.

Thanks.

strip_stx

strip_stx(1)						      General Commands Manual						      strip_stx(1)

NAME

       strip_stx - a simple literate programming tool

SYNOPSIS

       strip_stx [ -c commentchars ] [ -B open	close ] [ file	file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       strip_stx  takes  all  structured  text (Stx) markup away from the listed files, leaving only text in preformatted blocks.  If no files are
       listed, standard input is read instead.	The result is written to standard output.

       This is intended as a simple literate programming tool: programmers may write their programs as documents, processing them with stx2any for
       documentation and publication but with strip_stx for compilation / running the code.

       More information about Stx is on the manpage of stx2any.

OPTIONS

	  -c commentchars
		 comment  out the non-code portions (text outside preformatted blocks) with the given commentchars at the beginning of every line.
		 If this option (or the next one) is not given, non-code portions are simply deleted.

	  -B open  close
		 surround the non-code portions with (comment-)opening and closing markers open and close respectively.  This option can  be  used
		 together with the -c option.

	  --version, -V
		 Just show version information and exit.

	  --help, -?
		 Just show a short help message and exit.

EXAMPLES

	       strip_stx parse.py.stx > parse.py

       Strip documentation away from the source file parse.py.stx, supposedly only leaving python code there.

	       strip_stx -B '/*' ' */' -c ' * ' my.c.stx > my.c

       Make a literate C code document into proper C source file, leaving the documentation in neatly-formatted comments.

	       strip_stx -B 'cat < < EOT' 'EOT' embshell.stx > embshell.sh

       Turn the document embshell.stx into an "embedded shell" script, where all non-program portions are printed to the standard output when exe-
       cution reaches them.  This is akin to PHP or eperl; but strip_stx is not really meant for this.	There are other options for making  embed-
       ded scripts, such as defining your own markup for the code portions or handling the program logic with m4 within stx2any.
