The more powerful a tool is, the longer it generally takes to learn how to use it fluently. Sometimes it takes me 30 seconds to figure out what command I need. Sometimes it takes me an hour. It all depends on how complicated what I'm trying to do is, and how much I already know about related commands. > in vms: > > search [...]*.c mystring The corresponding unix command is also short. The issue isn't "is there a command."
