Does anyone here actually use awk for more than trivial operations? If I ever have to have to consider writing anything substantial with bash/awk/sed/etc, I just start writing a Python script. No hate to the classic tools, but Python is just really nice.
Yeah. Heaviest awk I've ever done is extracting a value to a variable from a line with one pattern and using it to populate output from later lines matching another pattern.
