I haven't been following, but coo to me is the sound a pigeon makes, or the soft, endearing sound some amorous person might emit in the presence (or the ear) of the loved one, as in the lyrics of "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue": But could she love, could she woo? Could she, could she, could she coo? Has anybody seen my girl? Anyway, ChatGPT wrote a little Bash script for me; I'd run it past you for errors, but it's too trivial, I think. Happy New Year to all.
