Not addressed at you, specifically, but it rather seems like sed & awk are much under-appreciated these days. I'd guess that this may be due to the changing nature of *nix users, but they seem to have "gone out of fashion". Aside from sed's simple replace, I have certainly never learned to do anything useful with them. Stroller.
