Working with Data in the Unix Shell

Event Details

The UNIX shell is a useful environment to get work done. There're a number of standard, simple tools that talk to each other via a universal interface: the pipeline. This talk focuses on methods to manipulate and visualize data directly in the shell, without moving to specialized environments (numpy, matlab, etc). Specifically I will demonstrate and describe:

  • feedgnuplot - a tool plot data coming in on STDIN
  • vnlog - a toolkit to read, write and manipulate columnar ASCII data

These are independent tools that are useful standalone, but with shell piping are EXTRA useful together and in conjunction with other standard UNIX tools. This unification of data processing and normal shell usage enable powerful workflows that are otherwise unavailable.
