Studying and awk came up.
Spent about an hour and I see some useful commands that extend past what “cut” can do. But really when dealing with printf() format statements is anyone using awk scripts for this?
Or is everyone just using their familiar scripting language. I’d reach for Python for the problems being presented as useful for awk.

I might occasionally have use cases where it might be useful. But not enough to make it worthwhile to learn it. I get all my stuff done in Python just fine. If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
