AwkTips
<toc> ---- == Be idiomatic! In this paragraph, we give some hints on how to write more idiomatic . . . is often used in awk is as follows: {{{ awk 'NR==FNR {# some actions; next} # other condition {# other . . . until the program terminates. Another variable, FNR, stores the number of records read //from the current . . . file being processed//. The value of FNR starts from 1, increases until the end of the current . . . file is read, and so on. So, the condition "NR==FNR" is only true while awk is reading the first file. . . .

BEGIN
== Begin Blocks The [[awk]] programming language allows us to use **begin blocks** and **end blocks** . . . because the END rule may need to check the FNR and NR variables. Older versions of awk may read . . .
