@tivasyk thank you for kind words! Reading marketing books made me make this dubious claim. 🤣
But yeah, I agree. I would say that the blog post should've at least talked about #sed -n "${i}p" to use files as arrays in a for loop.
I would say that using #cut to extract data extremely important too.

i wouldn't say they're all there (the idioms), but this is yet another good article to review from time to time (and definitely to review when starting a new little automation project in #bash)! adding to my list of «reread» publications.
thanks, @jonn
