FreeDOS also has AWK, which is very practical for text manipulation
but also easy to use:

* http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/util/unix/awk/

* Learn awk by coding a "guess the number" game
* https://opensource.com/article/21/1/learn-awk

That article also leads to the free e-book:

* A practical guide to learning GNU Awk

Having read both just now, it reconfirmed my opinion that AWK is
incredibly useful (even for non-*nixers) in FreeDOS.

Kudos!

[Freedos-user] Recent articles about FreeDOS and programming

2022-01-07 Thread Jim Hall
Hi everyone

I write a lot about FreeDOS and programming for several tech websites,
such as Opensource.com. Here are a few "year in review" articles I
recently wrote for Opensource.com that may interest you:

"Try FreeDOS in 2022"
https://opensource.com/article/22/1/try-freedos

- You might have seen the month-long article series from June 2021. I
wrote 22 articles every Monday to Friday in June. In this article, I
recap some of the most-read articles from that series. They generally
fall into "New to FreeDOS," "FreeDOS for Linux users," and "Using
FreeDOS."


"5 ways to learn the C programming language in 2022"
https://opensource.com/article/22/1/c-programming

- C remains one of the most popular programming languages in 2021. If
you'd like to explore several features of the C programming language,
start with these popular articles from the last year:


"5 tips for learning a new programming language in 2022"
https://opensource.com/article/22/1/learn-programming

- Anyone can get started in programming. We all started somewhere, and
you don't need to have a computer science background to learn to code.
This "best of" article links to several popular articles from 2021. I
recommend "How different programming languages do the same thing" aand
"How different programming languages read and write data." Both
include C, which is great for programming in FreeDOS.


Jim
