Hi All,

 it's been a long time since I've been to the Linux meeting.

I'll be there tomorrow night, see you there. ------ Rob W.

 Hi all,
 
 
 Remember -- dinner at 7pm, presentation at 8pm. Parking can
 be annoying around that hour so come a little early.

 TOPIC: Text Processing at the Linux Command LinePRESENTER:

 ABSTRACT:
 
 
 Text is everywhere but not always in a useful form. On any
 given day we encounter dozens or hundreds of data formats.
 Some formats are focused on presentation while others focus
 on structure at the expense of presentation. Many times the
 information we need has to be found, disentangled and
 manipulated before it is useful. The easier we can navigate
 across these boundaries, the more freedom we have to find
 new uses and insights.
 
 Linux offers a rich array of commands and tools for text
 processing at the command line. This talk proposes a
 classification for different types of command line
 processing tasks and then explores some of the common tools
 available within each category. Many of these tools have a
 host of options. Some useful but lesser known options will
 be highlighted. The tools will then be applied to a number
 of examples covering data extraction, processing and
 presentation.
 
 
 BIO:
 
 Joel Steres spends most of his time at the command prompt.
 He is still amazed at how small specialized building blocks
 can be combined to achieve big results.
