Quoting is an issue if you re running awk from the command line   You ll sometimes need to use    e g  to quote    but most of the time you ll use     w  srv gt dir   grep   txt    awk    printf   echo  s  s   gt   s tstamp  n     1   2   4      echo 2014-09-07 22 21  gt  requirements-dev txt tstamp echo 2014-11-28 18 14  gt  syncspec txt tstamp

If you want to avoid including the full path to awk  you need to update your PATH variable to include the path to the directory where awk is located  then you can just type  awk   to run your programs   Go to Control Panel- System- Advanced and set your PATH environment variable to include  C  Program Files  x86  GnuWin32 bin  at the end  separated by a semi-colon  from previous entry

You can download and run the setup file  This should install your AWK in  C  Program Files  x86  GnuWin32   You can run the awk or gawk command from the bin folder or add the  folder   C  Program Files  x86  GnuWin32 binto yourPATH
