project-based-tutorials-in-c VS awk

My experience with "C Primer Plus" was a good one I found it very nicely explained, and it's wordy as it explains everything to the details, and with every example, there is a new programming idea. I don't know your studying technique but I suggest you implement every example by yourself. Nevertheless, you could give CS50 a try, it's without saying one of the best introductory courses, and also take a look at "Learn C the hard way" there are also videos accompanied by the book, which is pretty good in my opinion since you don't want something "wordy". And pick a project it will help you with your learning journey as learning without implementation is just half learning. - Project based learning - Project-based tutorials in C - Build your own X

Project based tutorials in C. This is awesome.

For those of you that so not know it already, there is a collection of C projects (ongoing and finished) by rby90 on GitHub

Usually you fit the library to the project, not the project to the library. Just pick something that interests you, maybe even re-do a C++ project in C instead. If you really need ideas, here is a list that can help you.

Projects

I recommend you have a look through this list for inspiration : https://github.com/rby90/project-based-tutorials-in-c

Awk now supports a `--csv` flag for processing csv's. https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/blob/master/README.md

Right, "the one true awk" corresponds to a book written in 1988, very explicity. https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk

You were the one that that said POSIX awk to begin with, I was using your terms.

As far as shitting on the GMU tools, I don't think I've seen someone do that for over 20 years.

This is not a productive conversation. You can live life however you want

I also wrote a small program to benchmark and check the solutions across different Awk implementations (see the image). I use the macos system awk (which is pretty close to https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk if I'm not mistaken) as a reference (the first column), so all solutions had to work with that.

A simpler Yacc grammar is awk/awkgram.y.

Neat, this is now the third year I'm using awk and still learning new tricks. (I'm using awk as the reference, so I don't use gnu extensions.)

I did this in nawk, which doesn't support extended regular expressions. If instead you're using gawk, which does, check out \b for word boundaries in extended regular expressions. The [^a-z][a-z] approach you showed consumes the prior character.

This is dumb as fuck. Brian Kernighan of K&R (The C Programming Language) is 80 and he’s still more intelligent than any of you retards. Mf just submitted a patch to awk a couple months ago https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk
