Same thought here. Processing text with cut and pipes is cute and works when data are regular except in real life there is often lines here and there breaking assumptions. Using a programming language offer way more possibilities to deal with pathological cases.

You don't even need a full programming language... just something that does pattern matching that lets you grab "last word from a line".
