the command dos2unix does the job too. -----Original Message----- From: Fargusson.Alan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Guidance on writing script
When you edit with vi does it show [dos] at the bottom of the screen? If it does you need to do a ":set ff=unix", then save the file. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Longstreth, Lance Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 11:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Guidance on writing script I had used Microsoft notepad originally to create the script and store it on a samba share. I am now using VI to edit, I went to the end of the line and hit the delete key til it took out the semi-colon, I then reinserted the semi-colon. I must have had some junk from when I used notepad originally. Anyway it no longer complains of the path now it is the -exec. In the MAN pages for FIND it had showed `{}' as an example for the string in -exec. This is why I originally had the marks in the script. But, when I reinsert as shown in the MAN pages I still receive an error that it is missing an argument for -exec.
