It's hard to rtfm when you can't find a fm.  so, here you go...



i was recently forced by circumstances beyond my control to use
awk for output of a set of programs.  at first it seemed as you 
have noticed, like the hamster got loose on the keyboard.  a friend
reccomended the original source of information, the creators of awk.

Aho, Weinberger and Kernigan produced a well written and easy to follow
guide to awk, "the awk programming language", available from major bookstores
and published by at&t.  i found it quite useful.


good luck, hope it helps.
