[CS-FSLUG] Sed and other tools

[Don Parris]

I cannot speak for Perl, but Python has been fairly easy for me to pick up,
and is frequently used for text processing, as well as web development.  I
wouldn't be of much help in that direction, other than to say that the folks
on the Python newbie mailing list are generally pretty accessible.

Perhaps someone with knowledge of both can offer some thoughts on this?
