Its my first choice for anything like that. It runs fast and awk scripts are small and fast to write. I can't think of anything I've needed to do to a text file that gawk wouldn't do. You can pick it up from its manpage but that's pretty terse, so look for an online tutorial or get hold of a copy of "sed & awk", an O'Reilly book. Time spent getting to grips with awk is never wasted. Martin
