In plain words

An Interactive Introduction to Awk is an educational resource that teaches the Awk programming language through hands-on practice. Designed for people learning to use Awk, a text processing tool commonly used in Unix environments, the platform provides interactive lessons and exercises. It launched in June 2021 and is available at n8ta.com. The product offers a practical approach to understanding Awk's syntax and capabilities through direct engagement rather than passive reading alone.

    An eBook with hundreds of GNU Awk one-liners2020 · ▲539

    Hi, I recently published my ebook on GNU awk one-liners [1]. It starts from the basics of awk syntax and then discusses one-liner examples. There's a chapter on regular expressions as well. The github repo has the details on how to get the PDF version, all the example files and code snippets used in the book, sample chapters as well the markdown source used to generate the PDF. I made all my ebooks [2] free last month amidst the pandemic fears. These include GNU grep & ripgrep, GNU sed and three books on regular expressions (Python, Ruby, JavaScript). I'd appreciate your feedback and hope…

  • Interactive exercises for Linux CLI text processing commands2022 · github.com · ▲69

    Last month, I started learning a Python TUI framework called Textual. After working on a 4x4 board game, I made an interactive app to test your CLI text processing skills with 40 beginner to intermediate level exercises. The app is fairly basic in terms of features — only single input file, so no stdin data, multiple files, etc. Most of the exercises in this app is based on my Computing from the Command Line ebook (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli-computing/preface.html). I hope to improve the TUI app to support all the 200+ exercises sometime next year.
