GUI for Unix

Hey guys

Do u guyz have any idea how to create a simple GUI for unix/awk/ scripts along with facilities of input files and output files.

I'm using new Macbook 10.6 macosx. I tried Xcode3(basically c++ based aslo can use python n ruby n bash) by importing shell scripts to it and connecting with interface builder by searching the tutorials in google and you tube. but it turned out to be damn difficult (Just for a simple task).

I able to design a GUI for helloworld.
I'm trying some thing like this.

awk program action

ex: awk '{print $1}' inputfile >>outputfile

Please let me know any easy method just for simple scripts.

and I tried tkinter, pyGTk and wxPython and others. They seems to be quiet good but takes lot of time to interpret a simple command to the GUI language. Simply Just not simple for even simpler programs like the printing columns.

I'll be waiting for innovative thoughts:D

Have you taken a look at xmessage(1)? A macosx port is at The MacPorts Project -- Available Ports.

I think what Xmessage is doing adding files buttons nothing more than that as I understand.
correct me if I'm wr0ng
It doesn't define how to add the file code to a button and how to load a file into the command????
The function of mnessgae is
