Bash scripting has evolved a lot in the last ten years.

I get used to relay on bash for all normal “data domination” tasks (like file system refactorings, database extraction and reporting and so on) and switching to python/ruby/perl when the complexity gets bigger. I didn’t imagine bash is even more powerful :) This article by Robert Muth so you new nice tricks: I add here some other like mapfile and stress the most important one.

^{Update 2016} Last but not least,if you do now know about bash history, this link will teach you a huge set of tricks ^{Updated 2019} Bash Bible will further extend the topic.

This is the sad true: parsing is boring. And writing parser is even worst.
If you can choose a scripting language for parsing you can think to do it in perl.
For this way, take a big breath and go in the black sea of perl's funny regexp. They are funny only if you have that special love for the regular expressions.

Is it amazing things you can do with a simple Bourne Again Shell (bash).
I have just discovered you can open socket using a small redirection syntax, and emulate small checks you normally do with curl or wget.
