Yes. Thank you. You must be into reading defective minds! Exactly what I was looking for using -L or --max-line-length to see if I had any routines too long.
ls | wc -L gave me the maximum line length so I could tell if any file in the directory was out of bounds. Maury's method can actually find the problem *.m routines for me. ls | wc -l counted the files, etc. It's very helpful utility, when you can remember it. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jorge Escala Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] What is that Linux command?
