The Awk Programming Language
By: Alfred V. Aho, Brian W. Kernighan, Peter J. Weinberger
The first goal of this book is to teach you what awk is and how to use it effectively. Chapter 1 is a tutorial on the bare minimum necessary to get started. Chapter 2 covers the entire language in a systematic order. The rest of the book contains a wide variety of examples, chosen to show the breadth of applicability of awk and how to make good use of its facilities.
