Great!
I made it more suitable to launch in Windows...
(more graphical)
UPDATED
NOTICE
As remembered later by radiantmatrix
adding the following code will break
the 'minimalistic' style required for
adding it to cookies or other pieces
of text that people use to do.
It even makes the text longer...
So, use it at your own discretion.
Or add it as a second pipe like...
cat header.txt $(perl tao.pl --today)
:) I'm sorry, radiantmatrix ... It wasn't my intention to change the spirit of your script. I should have noticed your purpose of leaving the output so alone :). I was only wanting to see it more friendly. And didn't imagine it inside another thing...
I changed the help's heading...
__.....-.. +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+
_,' `\ `-. |D|a|i|l|y| |T|a|o| |t|e| |C|h|i|n|g|
/ /['\ | \ +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+ +-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+
.' `.:/ .' L O-----------------------------------O
| ,' | | Tao Te Ching (TTC) from: |

`. | ,. / | |
\ ` ,.' / | See the file license.txt after |
'` _,' | first run for the GNL license. |
'--. _..-' O-----------------------------------O
And added a --B-today option to show with a banner as heading... With tkmore!
sub daily_tao
{
my $banner = shift;## NEW OPTION TO ADD A HEADER WITH THE TITLE
...
print <<HEAD if ($banner);
__.....-..
_,' `\ `-.
/ /['\ | \ +-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+
.' `.:/ .' . |D|a|i|l|y| |T|a|o|

| ,---'' | |T|e| |C|h|i|n|g|
| ,' | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+
`. | ,. / |p|r|i|n|t|e|r| |@|
\ ` ,.' / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+
'` _,'
'--. _..-'
HEAD
printf "%s: %s\n%s", @{ $chapter[$day_index] };
...
And the option...
...
'today' => \&daily_tao,
'B-today' => \&daily_tao(1), ## ADDS A BANNER
...
Then, I could also call it...
perl tao.pl --B-today | tkmore -
Or in LINUX...
perl tao.pl --B-today | perl -e'while (<>){print($_,$/) if ($_=~s/^/
+/ && $_=~s/[\r\n]//g)}'| Xdialog --rc-file ~/.ocrebox.rc --title="To
+day's TAO" --textbox - 0 0 &
Thank you for your nice script!
I adjusted the ASCII-art to display well in my non monospaced screen....
