Actually no, I do not have to use no steenking files, I might have to 
start writing something from scratch in freaking assembler, but I don't 
have to use no steenking files to do something that hasn't the least 
thing to do with files.

Thank you though, and apologies for any crankiness that has leaked into 
my post... I'm going through the transition from many years of Windows 
to using Linux, and although I mostly like it, I find the tendency for 
scripts to rely on command output run through pipes to be abhorrent 
since the whole concept of validity checking goes out the window when 
you swallow that paradigm, and writing a file when it isn't necessary to 
the actual process but rather is a matter of conformance to sloppiness 
in the environment is at least as bad imo.
