acon

An Awk-compatible markup language.

Concept

Awk processes line-by-line. Awk scripts are easy to translate to other languages. The language is simple to process. This command line util can search for a regular expression as a path.

Here is an example.

{
	version 0.1.2
	message "hello world"
	[ an-array
		1 2 3 4
		this is the second element in the array
	]
}

The path to the second element in the array is '.an-array.1'.

Usage

You can use acon to annotate every line with its path.

cat your-file | acon

It is also possible to filter the paths by a regular expression.

cat your-file | acon 'my-regex'

Try running one of the files under test *.input as your-file.
