TXR Combines Pattern Matching and Lisp for Text Data Extraction

TXR is a programming language created by Kaz Kylheku in 2009 that pairs a whole-document pattern-matching and extraction system with a full data-processing language, letting users run quick one-liners or write complex scripts to pull structured data out of messy text. The project has grown substantially over the years, with its reference manual now spanning hundreds of pages and offering many ways to solve the same extraction problem.
