well, i cant argue with you on that. although, i also used |
| 44 |
vim,grep,sed,echo to change my flags. still i felt i needes an easier |
| 45 |
way, thats why i wrote it and thats why i think this is "easier" than |
| 46 |
vim+handwork. basicly that script is only an interface to sed,echo,grep |
| 47 |
and equery. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
did you try to use it? id bet i could get changes applied much more |
| 50 |
rapidly with that script than with vim or echo. (can not necessarily |
| 51 |
compete with echo if you are sure it is an new addition) |
