Wow! I'm impressed. Either it's much easier to go from lyx to latex than
vice versa (because lyx was designed that way) or you're a much better
programmer than I am.
By the way, for safety,
s/.lyx//g
(in main) should probably be
s/\.lyx//g
to avoid messing up "my_lyx_doc.lyx". while we're at it, why do you need the
g? Also, you might want to warn if the .tex file exists already (or require
-f to overwrite.)
So I guess between reLyX and lyx2latex, people don't really need LyX
anymore. If someone sends you a LyX document, you can just use lyx2latex to
convert it to latex, edit the latex file, and then use reLyX and send the
edited LyX file back to them!
