Abstract
Now that you have learned how to create and edit text files, we can consider in detail processing text already stored in a file. In this chapter we’ll discuss the UNIX programs that allow you to search for text in a file and sort lines of text. In Chapters 14, “Programming with awk,” and 15, “Programming with C,” we’ll discuss the languages that allow you to program text output.
