Exercism AWK track
AWK is a fun little language, widely used for text manipulation. One can express a lot of functionality in very few lines of code.
Spelling
The language is AWK.
The interpreter is awk
or gawk
.
Language variant
We'll use GNU awk in this track. It may not be the default awk in any platform, but it's in widespread use and has lots of builtin goodies.
Testing framework
Since I (@glennj) have spent a lot of time building up the bash track, I'll steal some of the learnings from it.
- Testing will be done with
bats-core
- awk-test-runner was taken from the bash-test-runner.
