AWK is a scripting language that was originally designed for manipulating tables and presenting them in human-readable formats. It is useful on the commandline, I'd prefer to use a more powerful language than awk than use it for scripting.
WARNING:
There are two main variations of the unix coreutils (Gnu/BSD), each has different parameters etc. If you are expecting to use awk across different platforms, make no assumptions.
