Bug Re Awk Book.

Found a good book called 'The AWK Programming Language' by Alfred V.Aho, Brian W. Kernighan and Peter J Weinberger.

It explains everything you need to know, with lots of examples.

The only down side is the cost and the page count (204 pages) and £40.00 UK Pounds. But I think it's worth it.

Cheers
Colin

NAME
ample.html - html template for Ample DESCRIPTION
This file, by default /etc/ample/ample.html, is read by Ample at startup and used as a base for it's HTML pages. These pages are rendered whenever a webbrowser connects and requests a list of available songs and directories (typically done by connecting to http://server:port/index.html). The file is divided into three sections, the header, the middle and the footer. The header and the footer are the same on each page gener- ated while the "middle" is copied into the final HTML document once for each file or directory that is going to be listed. Although this may sound confusing, it will probably become much more evident once you look at the example below. Variables are written in uppercase and enclosed within "at" signs (example: @NAME@) and are replaced dynamically when the page is con- structed. Some variables can exist anywhere in the document and some can only exist in the "middle" section, see the information about each variable for details. EXAMPLE
<!-- Beginning of header --> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <title>@SERVERNAME@</title> </head><body> <center> <p><h1>@SERVERNAME@</h1></p> <p><h2>Tracks currently available in @PATH@</h2></p> <p><font size="-1">[ <a href="index.m3u">playlist for this dir</a> | <a href="rindex.m3u">recursive playlist</a> ] </font></p> <p><font size="-1"> [ <a href="../index.html">Up one level</a> ] </font></p> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bordercolor="#000000"> <tr><td> <b>TYPE</b> </td><td> <b>URL</b> </td></tr> <!-- End of header --> @BEGIN@ <!-- Beginning of "middle" --> <tr><td> @TYPE@ </td><td> <a href="@URL@">@NAME@</a> </td></tr> <!-- End of "middle" --> @END@ <!-- Beginning of footer --> </table> </div> <p align="right"><font size="-1"> powered by Ample, for more information, see the <a href="http://ample.sourceforge.net">project homepage</a> </font></p> </center> </body> </html> <!-- End of footer --> SUMMARY OF VARIABLES
SPECIAL - Only used once BEGIN END GLOBAL - Can be used anywhere SERVERNAME PORT PATH NON-GLOBAL - Can only be used in the "middle" section NAME URL LENGTH TITLE SIZE TYPE SPECIAL VARIABLES
These can only be used once. BEGIN This variable (when placed in the beginning of a new line) marks the end of the header section and the start of the "middle" sec- tion. END This variable (when placed in the beginning of a new line) marks the end of the "middle" section and the start of the footer sec- tion. GLOBAL VARIABLES
These can be used anywhere. SERVERNAME The name of the server as given in ample.conf(5). PORT The port that the server is listening to. PATH The current path the user is viewing. NON-GLOBAL VARIABLES These can only be used in the "middle" section. NAME The name of the song or directory. URL The URL of the song or directory. LENGTH The song length (in seconds) or blank if it is a directory. TITLE The title of the song or "DIR" if it is a directory. SIZE The file size or blank if it is a directory. TYPE "FILE" if it is a file or "DIR" if it is a directory. AUTHOR
