auto_editor
Have you ever wanted to make a minor change to a lot of files? Perhaps changing the copyright date in every file in a given directory? That's what this program does.
It reads a simple command file (described in the comments at the beginning of the program), then performs the specified action on every file in the current directory. If it's asked to edit its own command file, it will skip it.
auto_editor should be put in the /usr/local/bin directory, and set to be executable with a "chmod 755 auto_editor" command. It can be renamed from "auto_editor.pl" to "auto_editor" so that it's easier to type.
Example:
auto_editor command_file
