I use gawk all the fucking time, if you spend a lot of time in a terminal or parse text often it is definitely worth the investment. It is a fantastic tool for both one liners and full scripts. The gawk manual is short enough to digest in a day or two.
I remember when I first stumbled across this manual I was trying to look up a quick awk command and wound up reading the whole thing. It’s really one of the better GNU manuals.
