I'm trying to arrange the files in a directory to have modification dates according to alphabetical sort order. (Sounds weird, but Alpine car units use modification date as the ordering of music tracks on a USB stick.)
In bash I'm using: ls -1 | sort | touch * ...but it doesn't work, there is no change in the modification date of the files. I'm guessing the problem is that the filenames have spaces, so the 'touch *' is only touching the first word of the filename. Is there a way to do this? -Carl _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
