		<p>
			Besides filtering, we can use an AWK transformation to modify attribute values.
			This means simply rewriting the value of given variable in AWK and calling <code>record()</code> function at the end.
		</p>
		
		<p>For example we can move all volumes mounted under <code>/mnt/</code> to another directory using regular expressions:</p>
		
		<m:pre jazyk="bash"><![CDATA[relpipe-in-fstab \
	| relpipe-tr-awk \
		--relation '.*' \
			--for-each '{ mount_point = gensub("^/mnt/", "/mnt/old/", "g", mount_point); record(); }' \
	| relpipe-out-tabular]]></m:pre>

		<p>which will result in:</p>

		<p>
			We can modify multiple attributes in a single transformation
			and we can also use other AWK functions like <code>toupper()</code>, <code>tolower()</code> etc.
