TXR is a new language implemented in C, running on POSIX platforms such as Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris as well as on Microsoft Windows. It is a dynamic, high level language originally intended for "data munging" tasks in Unix-like environments, particularly tasks requiring accurate, robust text scraping from loosely structured documents.
