@RosaCtrl perl. Always perl. Unless you only know sed/awk. But seriously, the moment you need more than regular automata-based pattern recognition, might as well use the sledgehammer.
Also, I don't want to learn more than the 2-3 things I learned in awk. But my answer is absolutely made in good faith of course. 😬

@jenesuispasgoth not clear of this is because you happen to know a lot of Perl or because Perl enables you to do more than AWK? The poll doesn’t specify it so I know votes come from preference, but I’m looking for the APL of text processing, if that makes sense
