== The awk extraction and reporting language is line orientated == The [[awk]] extraction and reporting language is line orientated. The [[action]] for each [[rule]] must begin on the same line as the [[pattern]]. However, it is possible to have the [[pattern]] and action on separate lines, by using a [[backslash]] line [[continuation]] symbol to break the line: {{{ # A backslash symbol allows this single rule to span multiple lines /foobar/ \ { print $1 } }}} Note that line continuation characters must be appropriately placed within a [[rule]].
