That's a big help - thanks!

Here's what I'm wanting to do:

1. I'm going to manually edit a names.txt file (probably stored in dropbox) and each line will be an alphanumeric string

2. For each line in the names.txt I want to open a specific url (in safari or chrome) using the line in the text file as the query. eg: http://who.is/whois/{query}.com where query is the current line in my text file.

3. Repeat for each entry in names.txt.

How best to do this? I'm okay with bash/ksh scripts if that helps things.

Additionally, is there any way to capture the text contents of a webpage to a file so that I can subsequently grep for specific strings?
