If you are thinking of something like this, I highly recommend switching to a more feature-full programming language -- my favorite is Jupyter notebook with Python.<p>Sure, the total amount of characters typed will be higher -- but you might end up doing the whole thing faster overall, as it will need less fiddling.<p>The notebook approach will also ensure you can inspect all the intermediate data, to make sure you parse things correctly.<p>And finally, if you ever need more functionality, there is always "pip3 install".
