alternatives to awk

Hi!,

I need an alternative to awk.
I need to create scripts in Windows hosted QNX Momentics. The existing
scripts use awk and i have to modify them to the new enviornment.

sed is available but perl isnt.

Please suggest some alternative.

Thnx

Why can't you use awk? The GNU port is excellent and is free:

Why do you need an alternative to the AWK language ?
An interpreter for the AWK language exists on every Unix.
If there is no AWK, then it's not Unix.

perl is not a standard Unix command.

The Bourne shell is a standard Unix command.
If you are lucky, then you can find a bash
on your system.

The guy's running Windows (or worse - looks like something call "QNX
Momentics" running under/on-top-of Windows).

So, assuming Unix and flaming him thusly is probably not productive.

Phil Budne's CSnobol 1.1 available for most platforms at
http://www.snobol4.org is an open source version of the
original Snobol4 from Bell Labs.

The google results seems to indicate that the above product has something
to do with Unix (keywords "POSIX-compliant", "GNU command-line toolchain").

Is this the QNX mentioned?

http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/q...ils/a/awk.html

Which includes:
"The awk shipped with QNX is a port of gawk (GNU awk)".

- Paddy.

When I wrote my previous posting, I assumed that
QNX was still the QNX that I got to know in the
early 1980s. I think QNX tries to comply to POSIX.

I was not flaming. I was just applying my usual
if/then/else rules.

Hi!,

the QNX version for windows which i am using does not support awk.
further it is not fully POSIX compliant it doesnt even have support for
chmod.
