Happy to help. I spent an unhealthy amount of time figuring out Bourne/POSIX shell scripting details in the last half year. (I tend towards depth-first perfectionism when I do anything, so with increasing competence in shell scripting, came more and more digging into shell scripting nuance.)

"But will this one-off shell script break if a user has a newline in their input?" are the kinds of questions which keep me up at night.
