(97-04-02 UPDATED) TEMPLATE.AWK - Template for building AWK programs
This is a template for AWK programs. When I write a new AWK program, I
usually start by copying this template.
By using this template, I know that any new scripts I create will be
compatible with my indexing utilities, such as HELP.AWK.
#File: template.awk
#?? TEMPLATE.AWK - Template for building AWK programs
#
#?v Written [Date]
#?v By [Your name here]

# This is an AWK program to ...
#
#? Usage:
#? AWK TEMPLATE file(s)
#? Options:
#? var=value Purpose of this option
#
# Put initialization code here
BEGIN {
# Set the default values for any options here
# Do initialization for before the first line from file
}
# Now put the active code. Format: pattern { action }
{
print
}
# Put closing code here. This will execute after the last line from file
END {
# Dump any final output here
}
Read the book on AWK.

Read more of my ideas on programming.

Look up some other scripts.

Go back to the front gate.
Do you have a script which I might find useful? Did you find a problem in
one of my scripts? Write to Rob to let me know.
