[Lvlug] assigning multiple returns

[Stephen Corbesero]

Awk is incredibly useful.  I can't imagine not having it around for
lot of simple to intermediate text manipulations.  of course, for the
serious stuff, I pull out Perl.  But there are many things where Perl
is overkill.

If anyone would like me to do an awk talk at one of our meetings, I
would be happy to.  Possibly in conjunction with sed.
