Awk was created in 1977 as a simple programming language for writing short programs that manipulate text and numbers with equal ease. It was meant as a scripting language to complement and work well with Unix tools, following the Unix philosophy of having each program do one thing well and be composable with other programs. The computing world today is enormously different from...(展开全部)
