If you're a biophysicist who expects to make much use of computers, I'd concentrate on learning Perl or Python rather than [bash] shell. IMHO, you'll find them more useful when you interact with other tools or do more complicated tasks and either can do much the same as bash.
I'm in computational biophysics (Monte Carlo simulations), so yes, I use that a lot. I use C for coding, so I actually have to write it in a way to get the output already in a specific format I need, but I also have some files which are already generated (and it takes a while to generate them), so I was looking for ways to get them sorted out... Thanks for the advice, I'll definetely be looking into that!
