我听说过《The Awk Programming Language》，但我手头只能拿到 Arnold Robbins 写的《The GNU Awk User's Guide》，因为在我的 Linux 机器上有 Info 格式的手册。网上也有免费的 https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html 这是一本很不错的书，能教你两种技巧……
I've heard about _The Awk Programming Language_ but could get my hands only on _The GNU Awk User's Guide_ by Arnold Robbins, since it's available as Info pages on my Linux box. It's also free online https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html It's a pretty good book which teaches you both techniques…
……而且别想着用 man page 来学。我认为 A、W 和 K 原班人马写的原版书（反正第二版最好）是最棒的。另外 Arnold Robbins 写的《Sed and Awk》和《Effective AWK Programming》也很不错。《The GNU Awk User's Guide》[1] 极其详尽，但新版 AWK 膨胀得厉害，老版只有几十个特性，它却加了1000个功能，而核心的那几个才应该最先学。（但人们仍然喜欢用它编程……
…and don't try to learn from the man page. I think the original book by A, W and K (the 2nd edition anyway) was best. Also Arnold Robbins' books Sed and Awk and Effective AWK Programming are great. The GNU Awk User's Guide[1] is amazingly detailed, but the new AWK has bloated a lot, has 1000 features where the older one had a few dozen, and those core ones should be learnt first.

我发现了 awk 里的分页处理方式，这对解析 PDF 简直是神器。参见：https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22156456 在《GNU Awk User's Guide》中：https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Multiple-... 跨分页追踪列宽和字段宽……很有意思，但也更容易处理了。
I've discovered page-oriented processing in awk, which is a godsend for parsing PDFs. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22156456 In the GNU Awk User's Guide: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Multiple-... Tracking column and field widths across page breaks is ... interesting, but more tractable.

虽然多少有点偏重 GAWK，但《The GNU Awk User's Guide》确实非常优秀。http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html
While somewhat specific to GAWK, the GNU Awk User's Guide is excellent. http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html
《GNU AWK User's Guide》在做到相当全面的同时还算言简意赅。https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html 单看 manpage 也挺管用，但缺少了一些有用的细节。awk FAQ 提供了……

……不过大体上应该没差。）它是根据空行来解析记录，根据行来拆分成字段，然后用 ": " 作为正则把字段拆分成单独的数据记录。欲知更多详情，请参见《GNU Awk User's Guide》：https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Multiple-...
