Agreed, it's nice to consolidate disparate functionality into a single invocation.

But when I saw mVChr's sed line, and then again the perl line, I was reminded "Oh, right, old school." And I wondered for the Nth time how much of old school has been unknowingly reinvented, and how many times.

Nevertheless, I like the new(er) tools in this thread too.
