Okay, here's my little 2600 rant :)
2600 used to be a good magazine, but now all they are is a political
front that is a bit to extreme for me. The magazine and the radio show
they have used to be all about hacking, messing around with stuff, and
just general fun with computer and electronics. Now

Hi,
I have a file that contains the redirected output of a big "find"
command. I want to learn how to quickly scan this file for unique
file names, and while I could write a lengthy Perl one-liner, I was
wondering if it could be done more simply with awk. But since I
have never used awk, I w

Be aware this catches all last fields... *including* directories. Use `find -type f`
if you want to pre-filter anything that isn't a file.
Most UNIX literature gives awk very little coverage (a pity). The awk User Guide is
