    I learned a lot!
  

*by H***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018*

This book is amazing and holds a great educational value beyond merely learning the titular tools. It refers to itself as a handbook, which I find to be quite an understatement.It explains the tools using a unified framework approach which makes everything about them logical. It goes into their lineages and how under the stark difference in syntax, the two tools share a lot in terms of philosophy and underlying mechanics.The way they demonstrate each argument through use cases the authors had faced previously and solved with either tool makes it really easy to understand the argument at an intuitive level even before experimenting with it.But perhaps what I find pleasent the most about this book is the style of writing. You feel so close to the thinking process that produces it, yet you hardly feel any ego, unlike most technical publications today. I had hard time putting the book away and I was always keen on the time I set aside for reading it. Something I don't always experience with technical books. Perhaps it is that people were not allowed to publish unless they had a way with words before web 2.0 came along! (Just look at the photo attached of a hilarious footnote from the book).And as a data scientist heavily involved in Natural Language Processing, I was using what I learned on the go with my daily tasks.If you want to understand Unix and Unix like systems better, then this is definitely an important book to read and keep by your side.

    Still relevant
  

*by I***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019*

I recently ran into a problem where I had to process some *massive* text files (many 10+ GB text files with medical data)  and this book helped save me.  In my case, I had datasets where the structure was changing over the years so I needed to preprocess them before I could load it into either SAS or R.  I found partial solutions on the web but this book quickly got me up to speed on these ancient but wildly useful tools.  If you, like me, find part of a solution that uses sed or awk on the web and want to know what the heck it is actually doing grab this book.The introduction to all things UNIX is surprisingly gentle.  So, if you know how to find the Mac Terminal or a bash shell on a Windows box this book will be fine for you.While there are occasional references to old/dead technology the code is functional for modern UNIX (including Mac).

    Can Replace All of Your SED & AWK Bookmarks (2ndEd)
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2008*

This book is like a big tutorial series, packed with tons of applicable examples. It is not a reference, that's what the man pages are for, although the index if very good. In fact, the combination of the *BSD man pages and this book would give any man all the SED and AWK documentation he would ever need.SED and AWK are these two very terse programs that, if you don't use them everyday, you tend to forget their syntax and functionality. I am not an everyday user. Before I bought this book, I often visited one of my many SED/AWK bookmarks. After years of using both programs, I never really understood them. I knew just enough to do small one-liners. However, I recently needed to build a fairly complex script to perform an automated OS upgrade via the network. I knew SED and AWK could help me accomplish my task, but I didn't have a full understanding of their potential. That's when I decided to buy this book. I have since then deleted all of my SED and AWK bookmarks.After studying this book and highlighting the hell out of it, I have a clear understanding of these two tools and how to effectively utilize them.
