TXR Alternatives

TXR is described as 'Pragmatic, convenient data munging language oriented toward processing of text from files or streams, using multiple programming paradigms. It is influenced by concepts from text processing languages such as awk or perl, pattern matching concepts from logic/AI' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are eight alternatives to TXR for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Haiku apps. The best TXR alternative is Perl, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like TXR are AWK, GNU sed, Xidel and Gema.
