Hi all
Shell scripting isn't so scary! The syntax is ugly but the concepts are
comparable to applescripting... And it is so much more powerful and flexible
once you get to grips with it! I started doing applescripts but nowadays
almost always use applescripts as GUI wrappers for shell scripts
Anyway, for those brave or curious enough to delve further, I'd suggest this
as an EXCELLENT place to start (includes sections on reg exps and also some
sed and awk):

Big up to Mendel Cooper for what I call my "Bash Bible" :-)
Have fun!
