in reply to Re^7: Best way to keep script with generated output
in thread Best way to keep script with generated output

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.
