mv should interpret anything that is not y as no and go on, which can of course lead to evenmore interresting effects since now the next $i will have a character missing. > These versions of the script work.

Keep them coming! don't you worry, i got a few more in the pipeline, i am just starting with the obvious ones first... how about this one? when starting, fish greets me with the following message: fish: Warning: The directory $HOME/bin has been removed from your PATH because it does not exist huh? ~> cd $HOME/bin ~/bin> it seems that fish is taking $HOME/bin literally and does not like to expand the variable. i can't blame it, i don't like that either, however since this is coming from a systemwide setting, (and in this case from the ubuntu default) short of lobbying all distributions to not put variables into the PATH, i think fish needs tocheck for variables here. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
