There are some more sophicated text editors out there that can do things like
that with Unix-like CLI syntax, I think 1 of them is called "Alpha" (shareware) & there are also free (GPL-type licensing) Mac versions of emacs & xemacs that can manipulate files with shell-like commands.
LOL. Alpha rocks! It's a tcl-based editing engine, with lots of shell primatives to let you access the file system. If it doesn't do it, you can write it.
