AWK
Part 1
Part 2
Awk is actually really good for this because it's really tailor made for cases like this, when you need to patternmatch on a stream of lines :)
Awk is fantastic for AOC. Lots of puzzles have easy awk solutions.
By the way, do you know by any chance (except maybe the infopages) any learning resources for AWK? I only really know about BEGIN{}, {} and END{} blocks (I learned about awk's regex feature because of your post though).
You can read the POSIX awk manual page. If you have posix manpages installed it’s
man 1p awk. If you have GNU awk installed you can read the gawk manual. I prefer the HTML version (just google „gawk manual“ online) but you can also use infopages if you hate yourself.Unfortunately I don’t really know any other good source :/
Please edit your post to format your code with the backwards-compatible Markdown syntax instead so your code is easier to read on old.reddit and mobile apps.
