Hi all,

Long time awk user here who hasn't really read this mailinglist, but I was looking for fellow awk enthusiasts to share my code with.
Hopefully I won't come across as too spammy on my first post, but I'd like to share my latest creation with you and who knows, maybe get some feedback.

Recently I finished writing my first old-skool style 'demo' in awk, which took me a while to complete. I hope you all like it and as said feedback on the code is always welcome.

https://github.com/patsie75/awk-demo

Ps. the rest of my github repo is also full of awk stuff :)

If you'd like to post some code for peer review there's a forum for that
at https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/awk. Not sure
how much participation it gets though.

I haven't inspected the awk stuff behind the link but generally I'd
say that he can post awk code (and specs or descriptions) also in this
newsgroup (c.l.a). I share the doubts about interest and participation
especially since there seems no description (neither in the post nor
at the webpage) what this demo is all about.

For something like "Hey, I have something cool, just click it to see!"
there's probably better places, though.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought both my post here and my github page were quite clear on what this code is about. Namely an "old-skool style demo". If that doesn't say anything to you, then that's OK.
The github page even has a video of what the code does.
I just thought that fellow AWK enthusiasts could appreciate the effort that was put into this. But it seems that I was wrong.

I'm sorry to have posted here and will not do this again. Goodbye.

I have never heard that term and the term doesn't tell me anything.
(A "demo" is [for me] a demonstration of something, but your post
or webpage doesn't tell anything about what it demonstrates.)

> If that doesn't say anything to you, then that's OK.

(I can only speak for myself. Other's opinions may differ.)

> The github page even has a video of what the code does.

This is exactly what I meant by
"Hey, I have something cool, just click it to see!"

It may be a modern mindset to get informed by [time consuming] videos
or presentations, but for a Usenet newsgroup a simple explanation is
more appropriate. - Please take that as a well-meant hint, not as an
offense or anything.

How can we appreciate the effort from your post? - Yes, your thought
was probably wrong. - But you could simply fix your post by providing
some more (more substantial) informations. Is that so hard?

It's your choice. Youtube, Twitter, etc., might be better media for
you, though I doubt you find the awk expertise there. Probably Ed's
hint could be the right place (can't tell). - Whatever you decide to
do given the hints you've got; good luck anyway.

Both "Janis" and "Ed" are total buzz-killers. Their motto is clearly "If I
don't have anything nasty to say, I'm not trying hard enough".

You should just ignore them (I have both killfiled)

See above.

The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4
lines long. As such, it violates one or more Usenet RFCs. In order to remain
in compliance with said RFCs, the actual sig can be found at the following URL:

I have killfiled neither, not you, nor Ed, so I see that
you responded in your last post (just two days ago) to a
posting of Ed. - Not that you'd have anything substantial
to contribute in most of your posts, usually anyway only
the well known sociopathic offenses.

You posted something, got no responses here so to help you out I
suggested another site where you might get responses. Janis pointed out
it might be hard to get responses on other forums too and why. I think
you're reading something into our responses that just isn't there as
there's no need to apologize or declare you'll never post here again.
No, I'm sorry but I don't know what "old-skool style demo" means.

@Kenny : I'd say this about Ed : he's a very amusing guy……………..as in …. it's rather amusing to many of us he managed to dwell on sites for years at a time, and in a recent solution he offered (that I was observing),

he still only knows how to associate CRLF \r \n questions with RS itself, while utterly lacking any amount of mental agility to even be able to rotate his "guru" mind by 2^-1074 degrees and realize one can also use FS to deal with it if FS is idling around anyway.

Right, because my response to the OP "If you'd like to post some code
for peer review there's a forum for that at
https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/awk. Not sure how
much participation it gets though." was nasty.

What a pile of crap, you're constantly posting your usual inane
responses to both of us (which of course I only see when someone else
replies and forgets to trim out your drivel).

For anyone who cares - as always with their postings, I've no idea what
specifically Kpop is referring to above but some time ago they posted
some wildly illegible code on stackoverflow. I commented that it was
hard to understand and they hadn't actually asked any question and they
lost their mind ranting about how I was too stupid to understand it and
claiming they'd invented some vastly superior way to do something and
going so far as to find an account I had on another web site and post
this bizarre message there (no, I've no idea who "that Rauch whatever
guy" is or what they did to also offend Kpop):

"bwhahhahah this is so hilarious you're damn worthless you had to go
find your pals like that Rauch whatever guy to bully me cuz you realized
how useless you are as engineer, and got called out for it. Having the
audacity to make bold proclamations how i made no sense, when in fact,
it's your utterly lacking brain that's on display here. i'll wear it as
a badge of honor. but i do suppose life is rather fair, seeing that
you're stuck in chicago bwhahahahhahahahahhhaha"

I'm glad to see Kpop and Kenny, the most killfilled person on usenet
since Alan Connor, are getting along - they deserve each other and my
killfile now has 2 worthy denizens.

Ed.
