(Of course strings are just a small part of that and I agree that there are much better tools for pure text processing, when there's no need to do statistics/measurements) | |

" - Correct, since Mathematica is foremost a tool for solving mathematical problems and not for data processing. - Use the best tool for the job. Mathematica is not a tool for every job. | |
