Wouter,

Please pardon my mangled syntax. What I meant to say was that cygwin 
(bash) supports find, touch and other standard UNIX commands that have 
no DOS equivalent. I find it useful when a single line will get the job 
done. I also agree with the other posters that for more complex 
scripting Python is a good way to go.
