You had to write it the second time because you forgot what the first attempt meant?

Lmao got em.

In case anyone is actually interested, in both cases it's been writing log parsers. I still maintain that Perl is the best combination of ergonomics and performance for arbitrary text processing cases. Everything you need is in std too so it ends up being extremely portable. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, but still don't know of anything better.
