Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell

Don't use awk for parsing XML/JSON, there are excellent tools like html-xml-utils or jq that already do that well:

    $ sudo apt-get install html-xml-utils jq

    $ curl 'https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=cake' | hxclean \
       | hxselect  .web-result:first-child .snippet

    $ curl apy.projectjj.com/listPairs | jq .responseData[0]

Though I'd typically use Python's BeautifulSoup for anything major with html, there's just too much bad html out there ;)

wow, didn't even know of jq but look's super cool. was trying to avoid using packages you would have to 'install' since it seemed that all the functionality the post I responded to used built-in's for powershell commands.
