Awk for RISC OS
Whether or not you consider yourself a programmer, the very fact that you use Risc OS suggests that you are probably an active user of your computer, and hence that you are likely to find Awk a useful tool. The name is an acronym of its original inventors, Aho, Weinberger and Kernighan. The original version of Awk was created in 1977 at AT&T Bell Laboratories, as a tool for extracting information from text. It was intended for relatively simple tasks that could be described in a couple of lines.
