Introduction to AWK Practice
Author： Masahiro Nakajima, Hiroyuki Tominaga, Shingo Kuninobu, Naoki Hanakawa / Publisher： Gijutsu-Hyoron Co., Ltd.
Co-authored by Kuninobu Kuninobu, Dr. Tominaga, now at Kagawa University, and Mr. Hanakawa.
Mastering awk, which has been in use since the advent of UNIX, allows you to extract necessary information from log data and various text data. Its usefulness as a handy data analysis and text formatting tool remains unchanged even in today’s cloud era. This book is compatible with the latest gawk 4 series and is compiled with the following objectives, aiming to be used by everyone from beginners to professional programmers:
・Utilization as a reference for awk and regular expressions
・A collection of script libraries to support awk programming
・A collection of case studies solving problems using awk”

Programming with awk
Author： Fujio Uemura, Hiroyuki Tominaga / Publisher： Ohmsha, Ltd.
Co-authored with Hiroyuki Tominaga, currently Associate Professor at Kagawa University.
This book, introduced just before Perl broke through, presents the practicality of the awk language and programming techniques. It’s not just a reference for awk, but is packed full of programming TIPS and ideas that are useful when programming in other languages, such as a wealth of regular expression techniques. The examples include practical one-liners and larger programs that incorporate important elements for information science education, making the content both substantial and comprehensive.

C’s Toy Box
Author: Fujio Uemura / Publisher: SB Creative Corp.
This is a collection of short programs created in C language. This project introduces the fun of being able to easily program ideas in C language, just like Basic. The ideas in this book were passed on to the next ‘Programming with awk’.

Engineers’ UNIX – An Experiential Introduction for Beginners in Science and Engineering
Author: Fujio Uemura / Publisher: SB Creative Corp.
This book was written at a time when there were few Japanese books that comprehensively and clearly introduced UNIX. The idea was that if there were easy-to-understand books in Japanese, it would lower the hurdle for UNIX engineers and encourage more engineers to utilize UNIX. It has also been used as a reference book at universities and vocational schools.
