This puts all lines starting with # in file1 and the lines starting with * in file2 (both files end in /tmp).

Marvelous! I need to study grep. I want to mark finished items with a "%" or another symbol and have it moved to a file named done.

I tried this and it didn't work:

tee >(grep ^# >/Users/ndog/Desktop/GTD_TEXT/project_list) | grep ^\*

/Users/ndog/Desktop/GTD_TEXT/nextactions | grep ^\% >/Users/ndog/

Desktop/GTD_TEXT/done

I made another command, but it would be great to have everything in one command.

tee >(grep ^% >/Users/ndog/Desktop/GTD_TEXT/done)
