# Exercism AWK track

AWK is a fun little language, widely used for text manipulation.
One can express a lot of functionality in very few lines of code.

## Spelling

The language is AWK.
The interpreter is `awk` or `gawk`.

## Language variant

We'll use [GNU awk][gawk] in this track.
It may not be the default awk in any platform, but it's in widespread use and has lots of builtin goodies.

## Testing framework

Since I (@glennj) have spent a lot of time building up the bash track, I'll steal some of the learnings from it.

* Testing will be done with [`bats-core`][bats]
* [awk-test-runner][test-runner] was taken from the bash-test-runner.
