More interesting, though, I caught a bug this afternoon, and just to see if it could be done, I attempted to write a pipelines alike implementation of the same thing in bash shell script on a suitably privileged linux guest. I post that here also so all can marvel at the donkey in a wig.
I would think Perl (which I can program, in a bumbling fashion) and Python (with which I'm less familiar) better suited than bash. Both can have more flexible means of handling variables, and both are easily extended, where the need exists, with libraries written in C or C++. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
