I have am currently dual booting to debian and would like to change to rely more on debian and related applications.
I currently collect lists of information on many topics such as restaurants, phone lists, file folders, slides using a database program, Lotus approach. Since I am the only user of this information I thought I could record this information in text files using vim and then use gawk and sed to access this data. I have done a little reading on how these programs work and would like to know if it is generally better to seperate columns with spaces or tabs for this purpose and if this would be the most appropriate technique for collecting and organizing such data. I realize this does not pertain directly to the debian os and would appreciate direction to more appropriate mailing list if anyone knows one. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
