[comp.sys.mac.apps] Manipulating Text Files on the Mac

robertcr@tekcae.CAX.TEK.COM (Bob Cram) (12/05/90)

Is there a commercial application program that will allow me to
manipulate text files similar to what I can do on UNIX?

For example, the simple UNIX cat command to concatenate a series of 
files to a destination file.  Right now, it seems I have to do 
a whole series of cuts and pastes opening and closing lots of windows
which takes a lot of time.  There must be a shortcut method.

Also, I would like to utilize the sort, uniq, and UNIX-style
column cut and paste command features as well as sed, etc.

I am working with a Mac plus and am basically a mac novice.  
Any ideas appreciated.
