I'm beginning, for this blog, a series of short utility scripts and essays that relate, in one way or another, to the general subject of indexing and data retrieval.
The first entry is a short Perl script (just 18 command lines) that extracts the names (of people) wherever the names may occur within a provided text file. The output consists of an alphabetized list of non-repeating names. The script is so simple that it can be easily be translated into any language that supports regular expressions (regex).
The script is available at:

Blog readers who are uninterested in indexing and data retrieval may want to visit my two other blogs,
