A thousand pardons senor' , but you need wear thick
glasses like me.Perhaps you can grab the soda bottle
from freezer, and look thro it then you will notice
the **PUFF**. 

You understand the work done by xmlstarlet(or xml)
'-t' template '-m' match then you get what I meant by
**PUFF** (esp if you have to write any other language.
 )

Well, as long as its gnu/Linux powered by GPL then
nothing matters.

Yes, everywhere the its called 'xml' but only in
gnu/Debian packaging it was changed to 'xmlstarlet'
following the conventions. And if you have a number of
xml parsers and tools named 'xmlto', 'xml2' it will be
a chaos.

But anyway all of 'em are complied against libxml2
(xmlsoft.org) so there still is sanity.

And regarding the question correct filepaths,the
original hack (see my blog posts of 16 Jan) was just a
single lined alias. 

My script doesn't do any of the checks, coz 'Garbage
In Garbage Out' style of my coding. (Nay, am just
lazy).

Sorry about the email client, bear with me till I can
a new machine.

Lately as cricket fever was raging thro india, I use
similar method to get the latest scores shall post it
