What Jamie wrote

I have used awk in various scripts to do pretty straightforward things. I've always known it to be significantly more powerful than I am familiar and this article does a great job walking through more complex use cases. It is worth reading since there are many things awk can do out of the box that folks could easily end up writing their own small Python code for. Much simpler to use the tools that exist!
