Cygwin again - Oh how I love the unix command line

$ getclip | gawk '{ print "convert.vbs /profile:" $1 ".cvt\ndaily.vbs /profile:" $1 ".dly\n" }' | putclip

It gets the word I put in the clipboard (selected and copied out of SciTe) and puts back on the clipboard the word as commands and filenames to be pasted back in. For example, I put

Marble_Bar

on the clipboard, reissue the command, and get

convert.vbs /profile:Marble_Bar.cvt
daily.vbs /profile:Marble_Bar.dly
