Certain people might miss the point of why to use command line.
1) I use this before using R or Python and ONLY do this when this is something I consistently need to be done all the time. Makes my R scripts shorter.
2) Somethings just need something simple to be fixed and these commands are just great.
Learn awk and sed and your tools just go much larger in munging data.
- RBerenguel 12y agoExactly! I had a longish period when I wanted to do everything with the same tool. Now, I try to pick the most efficient (for me, not the machine) to do it. Csvfix, awk, sed, jq and several other command line goodies make my life easier, the heavy lifting goes to R, gephi, or some ad-hoc Python, go or C
- collyw 12y agoFine if your only tool is Perl.
