You got other excellent advice. I like Text Machine for situations which
require the power of regular expressions but without the incredibly weird
way in which they are expressed. If you need to pick chunks out of text
based on patterns, and don't have a guru handy, Text Machine may well be
your solution (or at least one of your tools: you aren't restricted to
one).
