# linux awk的用法 {#linux-awk的用法}

本文讲述linux awk命令的用法。awk用于对文件列的处理，即纵向处理，区别于sed(用于文件行，即横向处理)。可以对列实现切割，可以自定义分割字符，且可以在某些列之间插入自定义字符串。

# 根据给定对照关系生成mysql语句 {#根据给定对照关系生成mysql语句}

我们可能有时候会遇到这类需求: 将数据库表中的某个字段的值改成另一个值，现在分别给了原值(存于file1文件)和新值(存于file2文件)，要求生成mysql更新语句。

该语句中用到了awk的字符串拼接，且结合了xargs命令(补充mysql语句末尾的分号)。
