Of course. Yes, different tools for different jobs. What I meant was
that it terms of priority awk might have given me more bang for the buck
as the first tool to learn. Mind, sed is simpler and that's why I went

in instinctively. I always want to do things in native zsh code if
possible. External tools have to justify their weight.
