In Unix, I can do this: 


			

			grep "abc"  filename | cut-f1,2 -d, | sed "s/abc/xyz/g"  |sort -u




Is there any Java class library out there that will accomplish the same, e.g. 

			

			

			TextProcessor tp = new TextProcessor("filename");
			

			

			TextProcessor tp_a = tp.grep("abc").cut("-f1,2 -d|").sed("s/abc/xyz/g").sort("-u")



Thanks for your help

You can install Cygwin GNU utilities and have the same "UNIX" utilities directly. Mind you, there are subtle differences between the ways a UNIX shell handles a command line and the ways windows "cmd.exe" handles a command line -- quotes, slashes, etc. (But you'll have this headache regardless of what language the utilities are written in.)
