Sorry for the noise. I never got to learn awk properly.

(Along with SICP, HtDP and others.)

The second edition was published in 2024.
SICP is "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Harold
Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman.
HtDP is "How to Design Programs" by Matthias Felleisen, Robert Bruce
Findler, Matthew Flatt, and Shriram Krishnamurthi.

Just because you see a foreign name, you all expect we live in a cave.

 What on Earth are you talking about?  I didn't even notice your name.
I just expanded on what Julieta Shem wrote, and you somehow managed to
take offense.  (I didn't know what HtDP means; I had to look it up, and
then I shared that information with the group.)

Someone having a bad day?
Anyway, thank you for the heads-up that a new edition
of the AWK book was out.  I bought it on Kindle -- would
have bought hardcopy, but Amazon seems to only have it
in paperback (and Kindle).
(Coincidentally, I have a question about shell providers,
but will post that separately.)
