>>272This is why I use real programming languages, not this incompetent ignorant-of-each-other piping shit, to do text processing. The shell sucks and should be discarded for programming languages instead of this concatenated text mess with shit C-based half-baked parsers in every fucking program bumbling along a raw
char*, and tons of heavyweight processes to do something a few functions can pull off if you care at all about footprint.
Plus, the only thing you can process is UTF-8. Half the text files out there online seem to use other 8-bit encodings, if not 16-bit which was popular for a while.
