...and whatever AWK can do, sed can do as well. ;-) https://sed.sourceforge.io/local/scripts/dc.sed.html You can also get a remarkable amount done with dc(1). AWK is a very nice language and I've mused elsewhere that it seems to occupy--or be terribly close to--a sweet spot in language design. But it's just one tool in the box. A crafty person has many tools. Regards, Branden
