It's amazing how satisfying and powerful it feels to know even a little #sed and #awk. They are just great tools

@davidcarew Do you have any recommendations for learning them in a way that sticks other than just rote drills? I've given them a try a few times but always ended up reaching for them just infrequently enough that I could never remember how to use them.

@robert42 @davidcarew may I recommend starting with something like:https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/linux-unix/awk-command-unixlinux-examples/

And eventually migrating to lists of raw examples like here: https://github.com/learnbyexample/learn_gnuawk/tree/master/code_snippets (the associated book is obviously helpful for context).

ymmv, good luck though!
