Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on the awk command.
00:05 In this tutorial, we will learn 'awk' command.
00:09 We will do this through some examples.
00:12 To record this tutorial, I am using:

Linux Operating system GNU BASH v. 4.2.24

00:21 Please note, GNU Bash version 4 or above is recommended to practice this tutorial.
00:29 Let us start with an introduction to awk.
00:32 The awk command is a very powerful text manipulation tool.
00:36 It is named after its authors, Aho, Weinberger and Kernighan.
00:42 It can perform several functions.
00:46 It operates at the field level of a record.
00:49 So, it can easily access and edit the individual fields of the record.
00:56 Let us see some examples.
00:58 For demonstration purpose, we use the awkdemo.txt file.
01:03 Let us see the contents of awkdemo.txt file.
01:07 Now, open the terminal window.
01:10 Let us see how to print using 'awk' command.
01:15 Type: awk space within single quote front-slash Pass front- slash opening curly bracket print closing curly bracket (after the quotes) space awkdemo.txt
01:32 press Enter.
01:34 Here, Pass is the selection criteria.
01:38 All the lines of the awkdemo where Pass occurs are printed.
01:43 The action here is print.
01:46 We can also use regular expressions in awk.
01:50 Say, we want to print records of students with name Mira.
01:55 We would type: awk space within single quotes front-slash capital M (/M) opening square-bracket ei closing square-bracket asterisk-sign ra asterisk-sign front-slash space opening curly-bracket print closing-curly bracket after the quotes space awkdemo.txt
02:20 Press Enter.
02:22 (asterisk) will give one or more occurrences of previous character.
02:27 Thus, entries with more than one occurrence for i, e and a will be listed.
02:34 For example- Mira (with 'M' 'I' 'R' 'A')
02:38 Meera(with 'M' 'E' 'E' 'R' 'A')
02:41 Meeraa(with M E E R A A )
02:45 awk supports the extended regular expressions (ERE)
02:51 which means we can match multiple patterns separated by a PIPE.
02:56 Let me clear the prompt.
02:59 ) electrical front slash space opening curly bracket print closing curly bracket after the quotes space awkdemo.txt
03:18 Press Enter. Now, entries for both civil and electrical are given.
03:24 Let us go back to our slides.
03:28 Parameters: awk has some special parameters to identify individual fields of a line.
03:36 $1 (Dollar 1) would indicate the first field.
03:40 Similarly, we can have $2, $3 and so on for respective fields.
03:47 $0 represents the entire line.
03:50 come back to our terminal.
03:52 Note that each word is separated by PIPE in the file awkdemo.txt.
03:59 In this case, PIPE is called a delimiter.
04:03 A delimiter separates words from each other.
04:06 A delimiter can also be a single white space.
04:11 To specify a delimiter, we have to give '-F' (capital F) flag followed by a delimiter. Let us see.
04:19 Type: awk space minus (capital) F space within double quotes PIPE space within single quote front slash civil PIPE electrical front slash opening curly bracket print space dollar0 closing curly bracket after the quotes space awkdemo.txt
04:44 Press Enter.
04:46 This prints the entire line since we have used $0.
04:52 Notice that names and stream of students are the second and third fields.
04:58 Say, we only want to print two fields.
05:01 We will replace $0 with $2 and $3 in the above command.
05:09 Press Enter .
05:11 Only two fields are shown.
05:14 Though it gives the right result, the display is all jagged and un-formatted.
05:20 We can provide formatted output by using the C style printf statement.
05:26 We can also provide a serial number by using a builtin variable NR.
05:33 We will see more about builtin variables later.
05:37 Now, type: awk space minus (capital) F within double quotes Pipe after the double quotes space 'front slash Pass front slash opening curly-bracket printf within double quotes percentage- sign 4d space percentage-sign -25s space percentage-sign minus 15s space backslash n, after the double quotes comma NR, $2, $3 closing curly bracket' after the single quote space awkdemo.txt
06:25 Press Enter.
06:28 We see the difference.
06:30 Here, NR stands for number of records.
06:33 Records are integers, hence we have written %d.
06:37 Name and Stream are strings. So we have used %s.
06:43 Here, 25s will reserve 25 spaces for Name field.
06:48 15s will reserve 15 spaces for Stream field.
06:54 The minus sign is used to left justify the output.
06:58 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
07:01 Let us move back to our slides.
07:04 Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we learnt: To print using awk
07:10 Regular expression in awk To list the entries for a particular stream
07:15 To list only the second and the third fields
07:18 To display a formatted output. As an assignment,
07:22 Display roll no., stream and marks of Ankti Saraf
