sote's Issues

       basename [-a] [-s suffix] string [...]
-bash: [: !=: unary operator expected
cp: illegal option -- b

Sorry for not investigate your code... this is just a 5 seconds test in the morning ! ;-)

Request for examples in README.md

Hi leny, Thanks for making this! Looks cool. Would you mind adding some examples? I think it would help to get the idea across.
