I have a shell script as follows:

I need to know how to run the same routine on a text segment rather
than on a file. Obviously, I'm inexperienced in working with
Terminal-like commands.
"openssl sha1" expects some text on its standard output or, if specified
as an argument, in a file.
So, you could use "echo" and pipe its output to openssl's input:
set myText to "aaa" -- the string to digest
do shell script ("echo '" & myText & "' | openssl sha1")
OK. That's excellent. Now I want to do one that requires entering
a password (an encryption routine), but I can't get the syntax right.
Here's what I have:
set x to (do shell script ("echo '" & myText & "' | openssl bf -salt
-pass pass:" & Password1 & ""))
Thanks for your help.
