There is a lot of information at http://awk.info/

I use awk mostly for field-related, single-shot programs. If I needed advice, I would ask at http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/ -- that's a hot-bed of awk questions and answers. I have seen some very complex and creative solutions there, as well as gentle answers for novice users. As usual, it is in one's best interest to try to solve a problem first, then -- as necessary -- post sample input, desired results, and actual results.

That forum is also good for perl questions.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
