More scripting means less typing

       Last week I stumbled upon a bad .po file which means risk of losing
       hours of work. I couldn't fix it after struggling with it for a
       while. In the end, I recovered the file from a backup copy and
       luckily I only lost a few strings. Not a big deal.
       
       So I decided to write a short script that would make it easier for me
       to check the integrity of the po files I'm working with.
       
       Silly as it (the script) may seem, it is true that "More scripting
       means less typing." 
       
       As you can see the usage is:  ~$ poic file.po
       
       Here it is:
       
       
       
       msgfmt --verbose --statistics --check --output-file=/dev/null $1
       
       if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
       then
            echo ""
            echo "This .po file is 'good': $(echo $1)"
       elif [ "$?" -ne "0" ]
       then 
            echo ""
            echo "This .po file is 'poo': $(echo $1)"
       fi
       
       Nifty!!!
