The UNIX operating system relies heavily on RE to do a multitude of
administrative functions. For example search within files for unique
sequences, as arguments to search the entire operating system,
development of lists to feed into shell routines (ie loops) for
cleaning up directories, the ONLY way to do any editting with the most
basic of text editors: "ed", and ditto for vi and sed.
