But such scripts aren't portable nowadays, maybe 'cut' comes close
but otherwise you have to ask yourself which 'sh', which 'sed',
which 'awk', even which 'tr' (locale specific A-Z...grrr).
And modern ksh isn't even compatible to its predecessors.

perl on the other hand has the advantage that it doesn't suffer from
specific system idiosynchrasies and even mostly works for Windows.
The same can be said for python.

Choose your poison :)
