uh doods, am I missing something here?
Why not make it a command that creates a new file given
an old file.....
I can appreciate the expediency thing of whipp it out on the
command line - once. but if this is some sort of hobbit that
one is going to troll around, why not code it and be done with?

ok, so maybe
parsingFileFromOneToAnother /tmp/drieux/Junk.File - | tee
/tmp/drieux/Other.File
is not as chic as say
parsingFileFromOneToAnother /tmp/drieux/Junk.File
/tmp/drieux/Other.File
but it is also fun to show how that can be worked into the mix
