Unix is Great

I am trying to improve my Unix skills at the moment. I came across this on a help forum for grep:

Ericcarlson: I need to get a string from a file and can't figure out how to grep it. This file is from a subversion commit. Its always of the form.....

From23: awk is going to be better than grep and I can find a simple command for
you later when I get home (if no one else can punch one out). If you
are impatient or just want to learn... `man awk`


But my real reason for posting this. Did you go to FIT and do you want
to be a Vegas showgirl? Sorry if these questions seem weird but I think
I either know you or you share a name with someone I know.


The strange thing is he is serious!
