(stream editor) for search and replace, awk
for pattern scanning and data extraction, and grep
for searching text using regular expressions. Other popular tools include cut
, sort
, tr
, and uniq
for various text processing functions. These command-line tools are commonly used in UNIX/Linux environments to handle large text files, automate workflows, and perform complex text transformations.
