Is it worth learning grep or ack or a similar tool?
When I need to do these sort of tasks, I do them in a scripting language with some combination of split() and regex instead of using command line tools. But, I'm just doing that because it's what I know.
Would I end up saving a significant amount of time if I learned to use grep instead?
