Wait a minute. Are you saying your files actually have a Control-D at the end? Control-D is a common character used by terminal drivers to indicate end-of-file, (stty eof) but it's captured by the driver. There is no "end-of-file" character in Unix. You know when you hit the end of file when read(2) returns less than the requested length. Or am I totally missing something? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
