This is 80% of my usage of awk and sed:
“ugh, I need the 4th column of this print out”:
command | awk '{print $4}'Useful for getting pids out of a
pscommand you applied a bunch ofgreps to.”hm, if I change all ‘this’ to ‘that’ in the print out, I get what I want":
command | sed "s/this/that/g"Useful for a lot of things, like “I need to change the urls in this to that” or whatever.
Basically the rest I have to look up.
I say that covers around 99% of the awk/sed I use.
I was gonna write 99%, but then I remember I also need capture groups quite often. That would make 99% I’d say
