+txr (pattern-based text extraction language)
+
+TXR is a pragmatic, convenient tool ready to take on your daily
+hacking challenges with its dual personality: its whole-document
+pattern matching and extraction language for scraping information from
+arbitrary text sources, and its powerful data-processing language to
+slice through problems like a hot knife through butter. Many tasks
+can be accomplished with TXR "one liners" directly from your system
+prompt. TXR is relatively new: the project started in 2009.
+
+If you want to run the test suite, export MAKETESTS=yes in the
+script's environment.
