@wyatt aieee!

procline="$(echo "$line" | sed 's!^./!!')"

That can be done in sh. Remind me after next Tyrsday to look it over.

Meanwhile https://github.com/danvk/dygraphs/blob/master/scripts/mkdiridx.sh which gives you proper XHTML.

@mirabilos haha i know my script is garbage

it's one of many scripts i wrote in a hurry using a subset of all i know because i didn't want to have to verify posix-ness.

i have many weird idioms in my scripts. would be happy to have you look it over although i might not incorporate the changes

The null separator junk in there is 100% for sure brittle as well.

@wyatt what I meant is: procline=${line#./} saves you a fork+exec and at least one, if not two, more forks

@wyatt also, echo is unsafe if an argument may contain a backslash (or begin with a dash)
