Pipeable Ruby - forget about grep / sed / awk / wc ... use pure, readable Ruby! Install ======= sudo gem install pru Working with rvm / many gemsets -> only install once (1.9 recommended) rvm 1.9.2 exec gem install pru echo 'alias pru="rvm 1.9.2 exec pru"' >> ~/.bash_profile Usage ===== pru supports mapping and reducing.

Map works on each line as String
Reduce works on all lines as Array
