The awk utility divides its [[input]] into records and [[field]]s. == By default, each line of input is treated as a single record == By default, the [[awk]] processor treats each line of its [[input]] as a single record (or rows of data). == Records are separated by a record separator character == Records are actually separated according to the [[RS|record separator]] character. This has a default value of [[newline]], which is why [[awk]] treats each line as a record by default. == It is possible to change the record separator == By changing the value of the [[RS|record separator]], it is possible to change the way that [[input]] is divided into records.
