In this video, I’ll introduce you to the powerful awk BASH command in Linux Mint, a must-know tool for data manipulation and text processing. awk is widely used in Bioinformatics, Data Science, and system administration for handling and analyzing large datasets and text files. 📊🐧 🔧 What You’ll Learn:
• What awk is and how it works for text processing and data analysis
• Basic awk syntax: awk ‘{print $1, $2}’ file.txt
• Using awk with files for field-based manipulation
• How to extract specific columns, filter rows, and process large datasets • Real-life examples for Bioinformatics and Data Science tasks (e.g., parsing CSV files, FASTA files, and genomic data)
• awk vs sed: When to use awk over sed and vice versa
• Advanced awk features like conditions, loops, and regular expressions for complex data tasks By the end of this video, you’ll be comfortable using awk for quick data manipulation, file parsing, and analysis tasks, especially when dealing with large Bioinformatics datasets and Data Science problems. ⸻
