With these texts I've used AWK and Python, also in Lua in other recent pieces. Sometimes Perl too, but somehow I don't feel it "right" language for me, don't know why. Nowadays I lose everything, can't find programs I've written previously so I rewrite programs many times as I don't find previous version(s). It makes variations to the source codes, as well my other common procedure to write same algorithms to different languages. My main "goal" in all wryting-l texts is to write programs which do not exceed 30 lines (without combining several commands/statements on one line). And use grep/sed as much as posssible...
-Jukka ps. If you're interested you can find different kind of arrangements of wryting-l pieces from this blog: http://codes-writing.blogspot.com Quoting Alan Sondheim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I'm curious, what language are you using?
