This does not meet the requirement of providing UNIQUE instances of filenames though. Easily fixed by piping it through sort and then uniq ala: find / -type f | while read f; do basename $f; done\ | sort | uniq The nice thing about this approach is that it uses NO code of any sort. If using awk is the 'old' way then this approach must be the 'ancient' way since it actually uses the original UNIX design thinking of pipes and filters that often gets lost nowadays. -- Dan Coutu Managing Director Snowy Owl Internet Consulting, LLC http://www.snowy-owl.com/ Mobile: 603-759-3885 Fax: 603-673-6676 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
