Well that would just be a collection of ten different command-line programs.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
With contradictory command line switches.
But very flexible!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have 10,000 emails in my gmail box. I want to delete everything except a) starred messages, and b) messages from certain people. Is there a way to do that that is less manual that going through each page?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Sophia, you can search something like:
-is:starred -from:Buffy -from:Xander -from:Willow
You'll still get the search results 20 to a page, which is craptastic, but you should be able to delete everything on those pages without as much close attention.

Thanks, I didn't know I could use the seach function like that. It is helpful. WHY can't I just delete things!?!?

Okay, that's almost like linux geeks wrote it...

Sophia,
in some ways, I'd advise you to make a category for all that you do not want to delete and then delete everything else.

See, I sort of did that already, but I can't figure out how to delete everything NOT labeled something, only things that ARE labeled.
I have gotten down to about 3000, so not so terrible now!

Is there a way to copy-paste with an iphone? I'm getting used to the keyboard but I can't figure out how to ok!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Not yet, Jessica.
Somehow that functionality was not ready, or simply overlooked.
I doubt it will be long before it gets added to an update.
