It helps to be familiar with scripting, but if you wanted to parse down the list above, you could do something like this: -``` -curl -s http://some.list | sed 's/^||//' -``` -This would remove the two pipes at the beginning of the lines, so your list would then look like this: -``` -unlimited-hacks.net^ -pakcircles.com^ -cracksplay.com^ -fbgamecheatz.info^ -linkz.it^ -``` -Then, you could use `sed` again, or even something like [`cut`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/cut). Since the domains won't have a carat in the name, you can use it as a delimiter with the `cut` command to display only the domain name. -``` -curl -s http://some.list | sed 's/^||//' | cut -d'^' -f-1 -``` -Which leaves you with just the domain names: -``` -unlimited-hacks.net -pakcircles.com -cracksplay.com -fbgamecheatz.info -linkz.it -``` -There is more than one way to parse the list down and there is no right way, however, some methods are faster. If you can combine most of your parsing into a single `awk` command, it can process a large list much faster. For each `|` that you use in the command, you are slowing down the processing as it is running in another subshell. \ No newline at end of file
