Claud,
In addition to Cor's comments.
Awk is a command line utility, while .NET is a programming environment.
How do you see using awk in .NET?
Quickly reading "An Awk Tutorial"

It would seem to me that one could use one of the many methods to read a
text file into a Data Set, then use the features of the DataSet to do the
filtering, sorting & combining of the data.
Was this what you had in mind, or did you have something else in mind.
I don't know of any off hand, however one could create an "awk" object model
that performed actions based on the awk syntax...
Hope this helps
Jay

When I was working with Unix one of my favorite tools was awk. I've
been using Regular Expressions, which are great, but sometimes I would
like to be able to return complete columns of data.
