Funtoo is Daniel Robbins site and the article you've linked is credited to Daniel Robbins as well.
Really nice introduction to awk. I've been meaning to dig a bit deeper into it and this is straightforward and easy.

#4Thanks, I was interested in an Awk learning resource, and this looks like exactly what I would want.

#6$ awk -F":" '{ print "username: " $1 "\t\tuid:" $3" }' /etc/passwd
awk: { print "username: " $1 "\t\tuid:" $3" }
awk: ^ unterminated string
Needs to be
$ awk -F":" '{ print "username: " $1 "\t\tuid:" $3 }' /etc/passwd

You might also take a look at Sed & Awk, co-authored by Daniel Robbin's father, Arnold Robbins.

_The Awk Programming Language_ is vastly better, IMHO, and half the size. Brian Kernighan co-wrote it. It's that good.
The awk chapters in Bentley's _Programming Pearls_ and _More Programming Pearls_ and Peteris Krumins's Awk One-Liners series (http://www.catonmat.net/blog/awk-one-liners-explained-part-o...) are worth a read, as is the source for awk. (nawk, at least - haven't looked at gawk).
