(getdir above reformatted by me to fit in 80 columns) Not only did you send this message to the wrong list, you wrote an overly complicated script. the "cat | tr | tr | tr" sequence can be replaced by the existing utility "strings". e.g. strings -a /usr/bin/blahblahblah | grep / | less Craig -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Unix Consulting: Installation, Configuration, & Support. * * --- Also, contact me if you need your Dos/Win/OS2 LAN connected to --- * * --- the Internet. --- *
