in thread Best way to keep script with generated output

I don't follow. What name am I hard-coding? The "/usr/share/X11/locale/$ENV{LANG}/Compose" file is an input to the script. It's not the file being generated (~/.XCompose-ordering). I don't see what else is hard-coded.

    I'm referring to inputfile

      Seems like an odd objection. For this particular task, the input will always be the same -- I just wanted to be able to run it again when that input file might change. If I were writing something where the input would change, I wouldn't have embedded the script. I would have created a script that would process a file or files, and put it somewhere proper (~/bin if something only useful for myself).

      Plus, that would defeat the initial intent of running ~/.XCompose-ordering itself to update it.

      Thanks for the pointers. I like what I ended up with.
