I didn't know that I could use sed-like substitutions with bash variables!
There are more of them, see the 'Parameter Expansion' section of bash(1). '${!prefix*}' is a pretty evil one.
Neat little tool! I checked and it doesn't work for ksh or sh however ;-<
Yeah, ksh can do '%%' like someone else suggested. -- -ckm
