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 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.

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/...tils/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.

Yes you are right. This is a simulation of QNX on top of Windows. So it
is not Windows nor QNX and definately not UNIX. a mixed bag. Not all
utilites are available and a big headache right now. I tried compiling
the gawk but that doesnt work because 'chmod' is not available and
hence 'configure' script doesnt wrk. cant install. Also 'wc' word count
utility is not there.
