I'm glad you got it working. Unfortunately, I do not know of any beginner-level texts for awk/gawk, but I am sure one or more must be available out there somewhere. I was first introduced to awk in a class in 1989, and I do not recall the text we used in that class. Maybe some one else here is familiar with something more than the man page? Again, I am glad you got it working. Have a _great_ day! -- Ralph. N6BNO.
