Subject: shell script and text manipulation
the various input from this list regarding shell scripts made me wonder
ok shell scripts arae good for CURL and DATE stuff
but what about text manipulation ?
where fx you would normally write:
set word 1 of paragraph 1 to myWord
or
finding (myWord) and replacing with (myOtherWord)
(just the jist of the script - not actually working)
