Wrap-up
In this tutorial, you've begun to use GAWK, the GNU Project's open source implementation of the AWK programming language. You've learned the rudiments of the AWK programming language -- including how to run and structure programs and basic operations, such as field and record manipulation and pattern matching. There's a lot more to learn -- AWK is truly one of the great UNIX power tools -- but even at your first exposure, you've been able to feel the power of the AWK language as a tool for text manipulation.
