Well, I'm not a programmer and this is taking OT to new levels, but...
When I had to do a tag substitution for a massive (read: ~20MB) HTML
file (don't ask...) I couldn't find any program (under Windows, at
least) that wouldn't hang. So I figured that, naturally, Linux would
have something that didn't hang. I tried a couple of GUI apps and even
Tidy (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) but nothing worked (within 12 hours,
at least :-P), until I found a vi tutorial that taught me how to do
substitutions (heh, I am _still_ such a vi n00b).
Needless to say, vi thoroughly impressed me with its abilities to handle
some massive substitutions (~16,000+) with excellent return times.
Now what were we talking about...? ;-P
