I'm glad you got it working.  Unfortunately, I do not know of any
beginner-level texts for awk/gawk, but I am sure one or more must be
available out there somewhere.  I was first introduced to awk in a
class in 1989, and I do not recall the text we used in that class.
Maybe some one else here is familiar with something more than the man
page?

Again, I am glad you got it working.  Have a _great_ day!
