RE: browser for bash scripts?

[Doug Lewan]

I use exuberant ctags. (CYGWIN delivers it. You can also get it here: 
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/.) 

The following lines let me find shell functions as tags.

        etags --langdef=shell --regex-shell='/function 
[_[:alnum:]]+/[_[:alnum:]]+/' --language-force=shell files
        # etags might pick up tag-like things in comments. Get rid of them.
        sed -n -e '/#/d' -ep < TAGS > TTT && mv TTT TAGS

It has changed my life. (Perhaps I need a better life....)

,Doug
