awk is great for this usage:
# pip freeze |awk 'BEGIN {FS="=="};{print 1ドル}'| parallel pip install
--upgrade {}
That's it. Ten years ago, awk was ten years obsolete. I hate to come
to the surface in this fashion, after cheerfully lurking for weeks but
awk? Over perl?
Lua is a great language, suble and full of precision. I am loving it's
use, and look forward to using it for years, but, what does the gospel
say?
"Don't bring a knife to a gunfight."
#if you find perl messier than bash... and slower than awk, then
groupthink has won. Bash! pfft
