[wplug-plan] awk & sed (Re: [wplug] What a great GUM! How about next month?)

[David Ostroske]

Thanks! It might be tough to give a small presentation in 4623 Wean, but I'm 
willing to do it, if nobody objects. (That's why I'm taking this thread over to 
wplug-plan.)

Even if we don't have formal presentations, these types of mini-courses might 
be good for the GUMs and InstallFests. Mike O'Conner set the precedent, and I'd 
love to turn it into a trend.

Anyways, awk and sed are my favorite tools. They've been absorbed by Perl, as 
far as scriptwriting is concerned. But at the command line, they really pack a 
wallop.
