Of course.  Yes, different tools for different jobs.  What I meant was that it terms of priority awk might have given me more bang for the buck as the first tool to learn.  Mind, sed is simpler and that's why I went that way.  Tx. for links.  'Strength reduction' is something I believe in instinctively.  I always want to do things in native zsh code if possible.  External tools have to justify their weight.
