* Package name : goawk Version : 1.26.0-1 Upstream Author : Ben Hoyt * URL : https://github.com/benhoyt/goawk * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : POSIX-compliant AWK interpreter written in Go, with CSV support GoAWK is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK, and additionally has a CSV mode for reading and writing CSV and TSV files. . Additional features GoAWK has over AWK: . * It has proper support for CSV and TSV files. * It's the only AWK implementation we know with a code coverage feature * It supports negative field indexes to access fields from the right, for example, $-1 refers to the last field. * It's embeddable in your Go programs! You can even call custom Go functions from your AWK scripts. * Most AWK scripts are faster than awk and on a par with gawk, though usually slower than mawk. * The parser supports 'single-quoted strings' in addition to "double- quoted strings", primarily to make Windows one-liners easier when using the cmd.exe shell (which uses " as the quote character). I plan to maintain this package under the Go Team's umbrella. --puida
