You don't have to write the tool in bash though, pick any interpreted 
language (python, ruby, perl, php). That said, it seems what you need is 
either a for loop, or a better way of extracting the used images in your 
document (e.g. regex over the document from your tool). If you insist on 
writing it in bash, take a look here:
