Sorry about the g33ky post, but i was looking for an example of how to use awk for this circumstance. There’s probably another text-manipulation cli app to do the job, but i just wanted to use awk for this one.
Note: Solaris awk is known to be buggy. us the xpg4 version on all solaris boxes, or the “match” function wont work.

Have you ever taken the time to see exactly what the A to Z search on Google comes back with? We start by simply typing in a single letter on Google and seeing what the first return is. For the most part, we find a notable pattern, but with a few bizarre oddities:
- Sometimes, an article on Wikipedia is referenced “ie, an article on the letter ‘b’ “
- There are a few stock symbols
- Many mathematical constants
Funny items
- The letter “S” brought up Queen’s University… huh?
- The letter R brought up a project that’s commonly referred to as the “S” project
- There’s a little bit of toilet humour under “P”
I thought of this article a while back, but seems like a good waste of time to me! Let’s begin!
Section 1 : A to Z
A – Links in HTML documents The destination anchor of a link may be an element within an HTML document. … When the A element’s href attribute is set, the element defines a source
B – B – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia B is the second letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled bee or occasionally be (pronounced /biː/), plural bees.
C – the speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s
D – DOMINION RES NEW (NYSE)

Answer: Pretty good and pretty bad.
You see, once in a while I’ll play Lotto6/49. It’s a Canadian game, doesn’t pay like the US lotteries, but I enjoy it. Sometime’s when I’m around a lotto machine, I’ll have an extra $2.00 and lust longingly after whatever jackpot amount they post in front of me. I’ll then turn to the man and say “Quick-pick, 6/49, no encore”.
That’s it. That’s my chance. I’m in, and so far, my odds of winning are way better than a few minutes ago. What was a 0% chance just became a .000000009% chance.
A “Quick-Pick” is a quick ticket that a machine prints. I don’t have to circle my numbers, fill in an examination, or anything. The computer picks 6 random numbers, from 1 to 49, and spits them out on a ticket.
It’s all so easy, and happens within 5 seconds. So I thank the man, he tips his hat, and I walk out to find something to do on a Monday night.
