# AWKat

somewhat of a bat in awk













## why ?

i'm not installing all the rust deps when i can just wrap some stuff i got installed already in a script /s

## usage

just run make to install or uninstall, all this depends on is awk ( bsd awk should work ), a shell interpreter and a highlighter program like [highlight](http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/highlight.php) or [source-highlight](https://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/), alternatively you can provide your own highlighter command with the `HIGHLIGHTER` env var

in debian and derivates just run:

```sh 

sudo apt install highlight

```

or

```sh 

sudo apt install source-highlight

```

in arch and derivates:

```sh

sudo pacman -S highlight

```

or 

```sh

sudo pacman -S source-highlight

```

## TODO

- [x] add screenshots

- [x] try to have just one awk command

- [ ] env vars to config file name color (doing some tests it seems this one aint doable)

- [x] try to have dynamic box draw char lenght or use env var for lenght (AWKAT_COLS)
