What is awk in command line?

Hey Richard

awk is a scripting language, and it is helpful when working on the command line. It’s also a widely used command for text processing. awk excels at field-level data manipulation. With its built-in text pattern matching, it simplifies tasks like searching, extracting, and reporting data. Given its lightweight nature and ease of use, many system administrators and data analysts prefer awk for quick text transformations and report generation.
