• 第一条语句 cmd = "tr [a-z] [A-Z]" 在　AWK 中建立了一个双向的通信通道。
• 第二条语句 print 为 tr 命令提供输入。&| 表示双向通信。
• 第三条语句 close(cmd, "to") 完成执行后关闭 to 进程。
• 第四条语句 cmd |& getline out 使用 getline 函数将输出存储到 out 变量中。
• 接下来的输出语句打印输出的内容，最后 close 函数关闭 cmd。

使用 getline 从文件 marks.txt 中读入一行并输出：

$ awk '{getline; print $0}' marks.txt 

，AWK 从文件 marks.txt 中读入一行存储到变量 0 中。在下一条语句中，我们使用 getline 读入下一行。因此AWK读入第二行并存储到 0 中。最后，AWK 使用 print 输出第二行的内容。这个过程一直到文件结束。

当模式串匹配成功后程序并不执行任何操作：

$ awk '{if ($0 ~/Shyam/) next; print $0}' marks.txt

首先创建两个文件。 file1.txt 内容如下:

file1:str1
file1:str2
file1:str3
file1:str4

文件 file2.txt 内容如下：

file2:str1
file2:str2
file2:str3
file2:str4

现在我们来测试 nextfile 函数。

$ awk '{ if ($0 ~ /file1:str2/) nextfile; print $0 }' file1.txt file2.txt

输出结果为：

file1:str1
file2:str1
file2:str2
file2:str3
file2:str4

创建文件 functions.awk，内容如下：

function addition(num1, num2)
{
    result = num1 + num2

    return result
}

BEGIN {
    res = addition(10, 20)
    print "10 + 20 = " res
}

执行该文件：

$ awk -f functions.awk 
10 + 20 = 30

$ awk 'BEGIN { ret = system("date"); print "Return value = " ret }'

输出结果为：
