Yeah, the Satimage OSAX is nice. I never use it because I try to keep
all my scripts to plain-vanilla AppleScript for portability.
You could of course use the shell to do the same:

I've got to break down and learn more about shell scripting for that
simple reason, but I really like the Satimage osax for its greater ease
of use and speed.
0.0008507 sec Avg of 10 runs - Satimage osax
0.0175858 sec Avg of 10 runs - Sed shell script
That said, why for goodness sake after all this time doesn't AppleScript
have built-in regular expressions and better text handling abilities?
Shell scripting adds an enormous amount of power but doesn't count as
built-in.
