[ale] Determining a scripts language?

[leam hall]

How is that different than multiple sed options?

In this case scripts/my_script.sh will have a txt version
HOWTO/my_script.txt, scripts/cool_stuff.rb will have HOWTO/cool_stuff.txt.

So it's making a .txt file from *.sh or *.rb or perl or python or whatever.
>From the rename man page it renames the file in place. The original file
should remain, I'm just pulling documentation out.
