Hello there!

The best Help for awk beginners is to implement it with other tools for now
if it's urgent,
and debug your syntax and regex code.

Start here:
http://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/sed/

You may also want to try and print awk to tty,
   start by that to debug your code until you find the solution

http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~oostr102/docs/nawk/nawk_92.html

your main issue was, that you are asking about nginx.conf , which is not
part of the stock installation, and your file can look like anything
depending on custom configuration.
