      I’ve used awk in small capacities for ~15 years now, but I only recently realised it has associative arrays as a datatype. Awk is far more capable than I dumbly assumed all those years ago.This is a fine intro, and if you’re like me and have always just cobbled together a few quick & dirty awk scripts you might be surprised if you dig a little deeper.
