<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thanks for your
recommendations. I googled a bit and found some interesting things like <a
href="http://boo.codehaus.org/">Boo</a> a scripting language written for
.Net/mono. This thing attracted me and I read some pages and tutorials about
it. Its syntax is very much influenced by Python. It can use the standard class
libraries written for .Net/Mono. I think C# and other .Net languages are fully
capable of text processing and relatively easy to learn. So I am thinking to
learn Boo as a scripting language along with C#. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have found Perl to be easier for quick regular expression
scripts. I have also found that it's easier to find scripts already written in
Perl than in Python. If you really are just doing quick corpus text processing
on Unix/Linux, I'd recommend Perl.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am wondering what language to learn for text processing.
I've found scripting languages too easy for simple but teasing tasks in corpus
text processing. Plz suggest me what language I should learn Perl or Python. <o:p></o:p></p>
