The thought of countless office workers slaving over spreadsheets and performing mindless work makes me sad. These machines that I love were supposed to free us from menial labor. Instead, there are people out there copying something from one spreadsheet and pasting it into another, over and over, ad nauseum. It's because the tools are incomplete, a consequence of trying to tie every conceivable operation to a button on the screen.
For this case, awk and sed can automate all of this :)
