Any other gems I should know? What formats are you dealing with, and what platform are you on? For text files on the Mac, I've been a long-term BBEdit user, but any text editor that's scriptable and supports regex replace is useful. (you could always use perl or sed & awk if you wanted to automate it). If you're working with binary data, you might need something to convert it to something that you can work with in other tools. -Joe
