  PAWK - A Python line processor (like AWK)

Alec Thomas wrote a script like this called pawk.py (https://github.com/alecthomas/pawk). It reads input automatically, and for each line, defines "n" and "f" to the line number and fields list (among other things). It even supports /regex/ patterns. Even the print is implicit. So the example above would be:

  pawk '/^[A-Za-z]/ (n, f[1])'

Often whole program generation in a prog.lang (& ecosystem!) that you already know can substitute for a new prog.lang. Python even has eval. You may be interested in: https://github.com/c-blake/bu/blob/main/doc/rp.md

You can actually get pretty far depending upon boundaries with the always implicit command-option language (when launched from the shell language, anyway). For example, Ben's example can be adapted to:

    rp -m^\[A-Za-z\] 'echo nr," ",s[1]'
