Hi all,
I'm familiar with AS but now I'm building a personal shoutcast stream
and learning everything at once, starting with shell scripts. My
needs are mostly simple text manipulations and launching commands
depending on the environment. My concern is to choose the right
tools, which doesn't have to be the best or the easiest.
The lazy way: the simplest shell scripts, and tap into AS with osascript;
The normal way: learn shell as much as possible (started here,
http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/) and try to manipulate texts with
sed/awk, although I get the strong feeling that in some cases a
single AS line would do 10 shell commands;
The learning way: forget AS and learn a more universal language. I
was told that for my needs perl is the way to go. If so, are there
good resources for learning perl (I suppose so) especially when
working on os x?
Thanks in advance
