Say what?

Yes, you could do a crazy regex at the Linux prompt.  But... will you be able to retain that insane syntax in your head until the NEXT time you need to write something like that?  Probably not, unless you write awk all day.

I stopped programming for about 18 months a while back.  When I came back to Python and needed to do it again, I picked up right where I left off.
