*why* must it be in bash? bash is very weak at string operations.
use the right tool for the job. perl, php or any scripting language
will be better than bash at this.
we have this SMS-based project that include parsing of messages, and the parser was written in bash, it gets the job done with simple functionality in mind. i know some Linux distro has their own packaging system that is written in bash.. yes bash is not like perl at string operations, but still we have our own preferences when it comes to "right tool".
