  • File manager written in awk

    Really coding time until now is roughly 6 days. The structure is continued with my previous project bib.awk. I feel that what's really difficult is to find a structure that I like. I wish to follow the Unix philosophy, and thus both fm.awk and bib.awk is actually separated into "content" part and "menu" part. "menu" part is equivalent for both projects, the only difference is the content part. I fail to simplify and unify "menu" part in bib.awk, and by building fm.awk, I actually able to concentrate and simplify a lot of the "menu" part.

Strangely, I can see the encoded pdf metadata by pdfinfo, and also I can use the following awk command to filter out pdf metadata that I am interested in:
