And somehow, it seems just a bit... wrong to be using awk for this. Somehow perl just seems more appropriate. But whatever gets it done. "There's more than one way to do it" and all that. stephan();

Always type the > spaces exactly, as awk uses them for concatenation. So why not write it down so we can copy and paste it? And I suggest to use mkdir -p to get rid of the useless errors. #!/usr/bin/sh cd /usr/lib/perl5 find -name \*.pm |awk '{dir=$1; html=gensub("\.pm","\.html","",dir); \ system("pod2html " $1 " | tee " html); \ sub("\.","\/usr\/local\/doc\/perl5",dir); \ sub("\/[[:alnum:]_-]*.pm","",dir); \ system("mkdir -p " dir); \ system("mv " html " " dir "/")}' # Happy Perl'ing;) Ciao, Gerrit P.
