[linux-help] Awk & Sed

[Nathan <ncozzens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

First of all, thank you all for repeatedly giving good 
advice and being willing to share what you know.  This 
is one place where I can consistently find help when I 
get stuck.  I've overcome many problems with the 
advice I've received here.

I'm looking for anyone comfortable with Awk & Sed (or 
maybe Perl) who would be willing to help me with the 
combined projects of learning these languages, and 
making a script to parse tab delimited files for my 
job.  It's got to run on WinDOS.  (I've already found 
versions of Awk & Sed that are made for DOS.  I've 
also found a version of Perl for DOS.)

I'd like to learn to use Awk & Sed so I can say 
goodbye to my crappy Microsoft macros which aren't 
event compatible between two sequential versions of 
Word.  I've thought of using Perl (not that I've 
totally decided against it), but I'd like to minimize 
the amount of stuff I have to put on each computer to 
make the script work.  Would any of you be willing to help?

Nate
