Ask HN: What is the most amazing Awk program you've used
I've been an AWK user since Unix Version 7, its been my Swiss Army Knife for decades (at times becoming a Swiss Army Hammer) I've used it to build a computer billing system. I worked at a company that gobbled smaller companies during the M&A boom times, AWK saved me merging cruft data into our master systems. I've even run an AWK webserver to do quick shares of data.
The recent post of a AWK program that is a GIT CLI tool moved it into the most amazing AWK program for me.
I know that Henry Spencer build a text processor and an assembler in AWK (30K lines).
