<h3>Re: A simple but well coloured feed reader written in bash</h3>
<div class="postmsg">
<p>Cool idea!</p><p>But holy sed pipes batman ... I think this would be a perfect place to get a little practice with awk. One awk invocation could replace all those seds and remove the need for the double nested echos. If you aren't familiar with awk, then at least you could use sed's "-e" parameter to use one invocation of sed rather than piping through a dozen independent processes (each one requiring the loading and unloading of sed).</p>

<p>It would take a bit to translate it into awk, but the sed "-e" option would look like the following excerpt:</p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>echo -e "$(echo $rss_source | sed -e \
