Studying and awk came up.
Spent about an hour and I see some useful commands that extend past what “cut” can do. But really when dealing with printf() format statements is anyone using awk scripts for this?
Or is everyone just using their familiar scripting language. I’d reach for Python for the problems being presented as useful for awk.

It’s an old Linux utility for performing some parsing, transformation, substitution stuff. Kind of oriented around text splitting with delimiters.
Apparently it has some uses but after going through a one liners tutorial it just seems a bit. Idk. Maybe I’ll have to learn it better.
