And sed, grep, and awk (though awk by itself can often do the job of the first two).

- yesenadam 8y agoYeah, I use AWK constantly, not just for reading files line by line, but whenever I need to e.g. create data in some format, like CSV or XML or for my programs, or to write repetitive code in a program or LaTeX file (e.g. for a lot of images) etc. It's just so quick and easy, such a versatile tool, a pleasure to use. I learnt sed and grep too but rarely use them.
- james_s_tayler 8y agoI only got into AWK much later than grep/sed but I was glad to discover some of awks power. Sed is still and will always my first love, but more and more I reach for awk to learn it as there is still so much I don't know.
