[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
