[ale] qotd boiler script

I want to write a script that does this:

1. Boil quotes from a qotd(quotes of the day) daily email from tqp(the
quotations page),

2. append these quotes to /usr/share/games/fortunes/qotd,

3. add the '%' symbols so it makes sense to strfile,

4. and run strfile on the updated /usr/share/games/fortunes/qotd so my
fortune program can access them.

Is such a thing possible? Would sed be the best tool?

Thank you,

Cy Kurtz
