Jun 11, 2021 at 14:05 comment added Kaz I voted to close this because the question belongs on StackOverflow. A Unix system by definition has Awk. It's described in POSIX. How do I solve this without using specific Unix tools is not useful for future visitors to this site.
Jun 11, 2021 at 12:37 comment added steeldriver @Criggie maybe... tbh I don't really involve myself in the meta aspects of the site - perhaps that's a question you should post there?
Jun 11, 2021 at 9:06 comment added Criggie @steeldriver should there be a [homework] tag? serious question.
Jun 11, 2021 at 8:21 comment added terdon @Criggie yes, I guessed as much but I am afraid we won't cater to that kind of artificial limitation. We are happy to help users get around actual limitations of their systems but not absolutely pointless ones imposed by a teacher. Awk and the like are the right tools for the job, so that's what our answers should use because that way they will be useful to all the future users who'll see this question, none of whom will have any problem using something as portable as awk.
Jun 11, 2021 at 7:20 comment added Criggie @terdon reading between the lines, its homework and limiting the tools available helps reduce the solution set size. One could probably do this with perl or excel or powerhell, but it wouldn't test the learning. Any answer involving awk etc would be "Not an answer"
Jun 10, 2021 at 18:29 comment added terdon Why can't you use awk? It is a standard tool and should be available on just about any *nix environment. Do you just mean you don't know how to use it?
