Shell Love

January 7, 2004

Oh UNIX shell, how do I love thee? You let me do things like

[Metropolis](3)# foreach f (*.ogg)
foreach? oggdec "$f"
foreach? lame --preset r3mix "`echo $f | sed 's/.ogg/.wav/'`" "`echo $f | sed 's/.ogg/.mp3/'`"
foreach? rm -f $f
foreach? end

A GUI could never smell as sweet.
