Or am I still missing your point?  |
Yea becasue your hanging on to somthing becasue its old and it makes you feel cool to know unix.
You have never even used the software in question yet your gonna argue to the ends of the earth that you can do it with command line.
Your comment was "its more complex" with this software and its its not. (you can replace an UNLIMITED sized paragrah in as many files as you want without scripting... you were talking about command line replacemnt methods now your suddenly going into scripting somthing to do replacement)
So thump the unix bible elseware untill you actually try using the software your claiming your command line skills trump.
