I am not sure if this has been mentioned already: There is a very nice introduction to bash, grep, sed, awk and regular expressions available from The Linux Documentation Project: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html I would start with that before grinding through the manpages of bash, grep, sed, awk, regex, and the abs-guide. For Perl this is still a suitable introduction even though it is based on an older version of the language: http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/start.html For Python: http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html These links should give you a reasonably good "first impression". -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
