How to use a Shell Script for specific commands

I have a set of commands that I am using to copy specific areas of source code in a Cold Fusion document and export the code into recreations of the original files into a sub-directory. Here are the 3 commands I am using:

Code:

mkdir ./out && for x in *.cfm; do awk '{FS="<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\ "title\" -->";
  RS="<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"; print "<!-- InstanceBeginEdit able name=\"title\" -->" $2  "<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"}' $x > ./out/$x; done

for x in *.cfm; do awk '{FS="<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"content\" -->" ; RS="<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->";
 print "<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=\"c ontent\" -->" $2  "<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->"}' $x >> ./out/$x; done

for x in *.cfm; do sed -i -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" -->ht ml<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//'
 -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title"  --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="cont ent" --><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//'
 -e 's/<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name=" content" -->html<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->//' ./out/$x; done

The first command is making the sub-directory. It is also printing the area of code I want that is in between the two comment tags and exporting it into the same file name that the extraction was done, only into that sub-directory.

The second command is doing the exact same thing as the first command (minus the make directory command), except this one is aimed for a second comment phrase.

The third command is to delete unnecessary comment strings that would appear after using the first two commands.

I am very illiterate when it comes to this type of stuff. How I have gotten this far is by help of a co-worker. I understand the commands listed above, but that is basically all I know (exceptions are basic commands like pwd, ls, echo, etc.). I am using Cygwin on Windows XP Pro.

Now to the point of things. I want to be able to put these commands in a shell script so I do not have to keep typing them in every for every single web directory that I will use these commands on. Is there any simple way to do this? And can I use Notepad++ to create/edit the shell script?

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)		 Perl Programmers Reference Guide	    CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3pm)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands

SYNOPSIS

	   CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
       in it to execute, and then executes them.

       A sample file might look like this:

	   # first, update all the source files
	   x --update_source

	   # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
	   # test them, and store the error log
	   a ^KANE$'
	   t *
	   p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log

	   # and inform us we're good to go
	   ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"

       Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
