I'm just a minute into this. My dad had one of those O'reilly books solely on awk and sed back in the day!
-
I'm pretty good with grep, but not so much with sed and awk. Thank you for this video. It was incredibly helpful.

You are a power user when your distro breaks and you have the knowledge of how to troubleshoot and repair it. That is when you are a power user in my opinion. Terminal commands aren't the entire picture.

Time invested in learning sed will help you in vim, and vice versa. Time invested in learning regexps - the search pattern notation - will help you in grep, sed, awk, less, vim, emacs and many more! However there are many dialects of regexps:-( once you start that road I recommed grep -E and sed -E fr the "extended" dialect which is closer to other programs.

Great video as always, DT! I've always struggled with awk in particular, and just felt like going out of my way to learn it would be overwhelming, but this is far more approachable than I could have ever imagined.
-
Excellent video, DT! Very useful. Thanks!
-
real power users live in the basement

Just recently discovered your channel. Thanks for the useful content!
-
Thank you so much for this. It is for this type of content that I direct people to your channel.

Awesome video DT, I would like to see more videos like this on linux command line tools. Thank you π
-
Great DT, thank you very much !
-
what I tend to use constantly are: find, xargs, grep and sometimes awk occasionally tr and though it's not a simple command, but certainly use vim constantly
-
Thank you, Derek - that was a good one.
-
Great video as always. I think that along with these commands , however, I think that scripting and rudimentary programming (a basic understanding) are all part of being a "power user". As always enjoyed this video!

00:34 general regular expression print - yeah.. I like it..
-
The O'Reilly books are great for this sort of thing and many of them can be found online. In fact just about Unix Power User book will have this info. Of course Perl was designed to completely replace these tools and many others in one common programming language that uses much of the similar syntax you're familiar with from these tools.
-
A really useful thing to do with `sed` is something like `/{pattern}/ s/{pattern}/{template}/g` which restricts the replacement to lines matching the first pattern ... In Ed/Vi/Vim this would be `g/{pattern}/s/{pattern}/{template}/g`.
-
You're awesome!, I needed this really, and I spent a lot of time on man pages without any good understanding, and might be I'm not good at understanding the whole English idioms and vocabulary.
