Rather basic realization on scripting logic, it may be often better to let C programs do "excessive" work than trying to spare them w/ Bash

"C" stuff will be much faster than scripts, so sometimes even a "dumb" use of a C program will be more optimal (take less time) than trying to sort out a more minimal task for the C program with bash.

Like

Code:

 grep -h -m 1 THING-TO-GREP index_*

versus

Code:

 < ... some bash-script logic that tries to figure out the most likely index_NNNN files
 so grep has only to work with a few, not all ... > 

 grep

Catching Up

I haven't posted here for quite a while. Since joining mintCast in 2018, I have recorded 88 episodes of that podcast, over 100 of Full Circle Weekly News, and am preparing for my 43rd episode of Distrohoppers' Digest. I finally got my first citation in Wikipedia, as Full Circle Magazine has a page and I got mentioned for being the host of FCWN. I'm amazed that mintCast does not have a Wikipedia page, as it has been around nearly as long as Full Circle Magazine.
My computers in use include...
