Another very good book that introduces sed and other utilities that are powerful tools in the toolchain of a UNIX user, is the still classic book of Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike: The UNIX Programming Environment by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike. Prentice Hall, Inc., 1984. ISBN 0-13-937681-X (paperback), 0-13-937699-2 (hardback). http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/upe/ It's a bit old now, but some of the concepts it introduces are, in my opinion, central and essential to the every day work of a UNIX user. - Giorgos
