sed & awk describes two text processing programs that are mainstays of the UNIX programmer's toolbox. The book lays a foundation for both programs by describing how they are used and by introducing the fundamental concepts of regular expressions and text matching.

Many examples are used throughout the book to illustrate the concepts discussed.
