Are there any simple utilities out there that can do simple, yet tedious tasks, like I want to extract byte xxx in 234 files, and write it to a text file?

You might be able to write something in Perl to do that. Look up one of the scripting languages (Ruby, Python, Perl, etc.) and start playing around.

Also depends on what OS you're running and what tools are there.

I mean if you're running a nix' with all those lovely things like grep, ls, more, cat, find bla bla bla, its a peice of cake to hack out some Perl or even something in Bash or Sh.

If however this is a windows question...

Well, there's always Cygwin, SFU, WSH, Windows PowerShell ...

And how many people with windows boxes run these things as a matter of course? :P
