Re^2: awk...ward

Except in this case. That's some pretty nasty perl for what it's trying to do. I've previously contemplated writing a module to somehow allow awk column sementics in perl... never quite got a round tuit though.

Inline::Awk gives you all the power (?!) of `awk` from within a Perl program: `perl -le 'use Inline Awk=>q({print $1}); awk()' file` [download] I agree with you that the output of `a2p` isn't pretty and it is probably not the best way for an awk programmer to learn Perl. -- John.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, these thoughts stem from long before the existence of Inline though. `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV. On dit que je parle comme un belge aussi.`	[reply]
