Nice!
I am also a fan of these handy tools. Yo’ll feel that the sky is the limit.

I can also tell you why there are not more apps like this one. These tasks that you appreciate so much are not much required by consumers. These tasks are what programmers do constantly.
And programmers can program scripts to do the same. Or more probably work with Linux and its great Bash terminal.
All what you have explained could be done in a Linux terminal (without a windows) with command lines that are called ‘OneLiners’ that combine perl commands, with Bash commands, AWK commands and hundreds of GNU commands like sort, ls, etc…
And this explanation could really fit to explain why Linux is not today, the most popular Operating System. It is not so much for comsumption but for crufty people that like to transform data with their own hands.
You would enjoy, any Linux distro a lot! Trust me.
And if you try it, you should install Yakuake as terminal.

Well, it’s always good to be exposed to more useful apps like these. If you need it, you’ll know where to look…

that’s neat, but frankly i’m not sure what i would actually use this for. people who need to handle huge lists on a regular basis usually do so in excel, which offers quite a number of powerful algorithms.

i really like the idea behind this app, but i’m not sure there are a lot of real-life uses for this…
