programming meta awk aka awk-seption

(1/1)

mocore:

while pondering how it might be possible to (re)write kv.awk 
 while preserving line ordering and processing the file in more traditional `awk like filtering style

i ended up using the below method(s) to allow prototyping/editing the script from the command line

print script without shebang

--- Quote ---awk '{if( NR != 1 ) print $0}' ./kv.awk
--- End quote ---

run script in awk

--- Code: ---busybox awk "$(awk '{if( NR != 1 ) print $0}' ./kv.awk)"
--- End code ---

as previously mentioned @ https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,25301.msg171402.html#msg171402

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gumnos/kv.awk/master/kv.awk

some small changes after some testing

--- Code: ---diff -ud ./kv.awk-orig ./kv.awk >kv-patch
--- End code ---
kv-patch attached .. as the forum server didnt like code section

more EG
---
quit printing script when BEGIN is found , and append some extra to the end of the script  ;D
echo some input
run script
setting KEY abc to VALUE xyz

--- Quote ---echo un du trois | DEBUG=y busybox awk "$(awk '{if( $0 ~ "^BEGIN" ) exit; if( NR != 1 ) print $0}' ./kv.awk)"'BEGIN{ main() }; {print $0}' test.txt set abc xyz
--- End quote ---

get value of key abc
also pass unknown key !

--- Quote ---echo abcd | DEBUG=y busybox awk "$(awk '{if( $0 ~ "^BEGIN" ) exit; if( NR != 1 ) print $0}' ./kv.awk)"'BEGIN{ main() }; {print $0}' test.txt get abc cde
--- End quote ---

any one resorted similar methods ?
or have i over done the eucalyptus!??
