Abstract

\_sed & awk\_ describes two text processing programs that are mainstays of the UNIX programmer's toolbox. The book lays a foundation for both programs by describing how they are used and by introducing the fundamental concepts of regular expressions and text matching. This edition covers the \_sed\_ and \_awk\_ programs as they are mandated by the POSIX standard. It also includes a discussion of the GNU versions of both programs, which have extensions beyond their UNIX counterparts. Many examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the concepts discussed.
