Bookmarked, looks interesting. I'm curious if you ran into cases where limiting yourself to just coreutils made things odd. Text processing without awk, for me, would be hard. Cut is janky about leading spaces, for example...it sticks to a pure delimiter mantra.
- asicsp 5y agoThanks. >I'm curious if you ran into cases where limiting yourself to just coreutils made things odd. I wasn't limiting myself here, text processing with Coreutils was just one of the book ideas I had. I have already written separate books about grep, sed, awk, perl and ruby one-liners. On my todo list, I have text processing with Rust tools (ripgrep, frawk, hck, etc) and then working with json, xml, etc.
