Learning Awk Is Essential For Linux Users

Great video, helpful comments and even better resourceful and corrective people in the comments

Square... not square root

To print the last words or specific words we can use the cut d "." -f3 or -f3

-f3 prints only 3rd word
f3 prints rest of the strings including 3rd word

You should remove that idol from your shelf before it kills you.

thks u very much , though u were rushing a bit :)

like you said i should have learned this earlier. Good tutorial..

I'm reading a GNU Make book. And this cool for make makefiles.

I bet you caught this later, but that's not the square root, it's the square. The square root would have been going back the other way. square root of 9 is 3.

Awsome presentation 👍

Grep and awk are same ?

This is truly amazing, hope to have another new Awk video in the furure!

Excellent presentation!! to the point and straight forward! great job!

No, learning awk is NOT essential for Linux users. I've been working with Linux since the late 90s, and before that with SunOS / Solaris, and I never found it worthwhile to use awk. There are so many scripting languages out there, and every single one of them is better in every aspect than awk. Ruby, Python, Perl, you name it: They are all a better choice.

Honest to god, I never knew you could pronounce etc as 'etsy' !!

This was helpful, thank you 😊

I prefer a real programming language like PERL or Ruby to do this

If you want to separate characters, " , " is a good way : awk -F ":" '{print $1,$6,$7}' /etc/passwd
