Just write a new filter function, and factor out the common parts of
them if the amount of code duplication is sufficient to make it
desirable to do so.

Ok, it doesn't look like a lot of code, I can separate them into their

+	md5sum $testfile | cut -d ' ' -f1

Why cut out the file name? It's not like it changes at all....

Oh, it looked like there's a pid attached to the file name, so I thought 
I should remove that from the output
