I wrote a small context to imitate awk operation
here is example:
(awk (read-file "/etc/passwd")
(set 'FS ":")
(rawk S
("^ro" (println (F 0) " " (F 2)))
("^daem" (println (F 2) " " (F 0)))))
is analog for:
$ awk -F: '
/^ro/{print $1,$3}
/^daem/{print $3,$1}
' /etc/passwd
here is the origin:
//http://en.feautec.pp.ru/SiteNews/awklsp
Small changes in documentation.
Added function (rcase) - like (case) but for string pattern match.
awsome.
corrected predefined value for field separator.
statik: I found, that description is bigger than the code :-)
But... aren't (rawk) and (rcase) useful?
Hi DMI,
My previous favorite language used to be AWK (now it's newLisp of course), so I find your experiments very interesting. For my job I still use AWK a lot. Now I can port some of my AWK stuff easily to newLisp.
Thanks!
Peter
