awk_for_tabulated_files
This is an old revision of the document!
By default, awk scans a file line by line, whereby a line is ending by a carriage return (\n) and further split the line into fields, by default separated by a tabulation “\t” although other field separators can be defined.
The command awk can be really useful to edit or parse tabulated files (for example: blast output in columns separated by a tabulation = -outfmt 6; or gff files).
We will see how to use awk on a blast output file (-outfmt 6)
