sliding window

Q: What is a sliding window in the context of text processing? A: In text processing, a sliding window refers to a technique where a set "window" of lines or data points moves through the data set, typically a file or input stream. This window enables you to process data incrementally, focusing on a subset of lines at any given time. It's particularly useful for tasks such as context-aware searches, where surrounding lines might influence how data is processed or interpreted. Q: Can you explain how this technique can be implemented in AWK? A: AWK is a powerful text processing language that's ideal for manipulating structured text files.
