[xsl] Programming languages for manipulating, transforming, and analyzing data

["Roger L Costello costello@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

XSLT and XPath are great languages for manipulating and transforming
data--provided the data is formatted as XML.

For non-XML data, AWK is a great language.

Neither XSLT, XPath nor AWK are good for statistical analysis of data--the R
language (I've heard) is well-suited for this.

Want to have a great set of tools in your toolbox for manipulating,
transforming, and analyzing data? Then master XSLT, XPath, AWK, and R.

I welcome your comments.
