Okay, I /think/ I'm pretty close to having it working, but ... :-\
I pulled my old file of taglines over from Winderz, formatted it with
the appropriate "%" delimeter between taglines, saved it to the
~/fortunes directory as "chuck" then did a
strfile chuck
on it, but that seemed to create a file with just one, honkin' big
tagline (all of my 200 or so combined into one):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] fortunes]# strfile chuck
"chuck.dat" created
There was 1 string
Longest string: 31358 bytes
Shortest string: 31358 bytes
Okay ... I'm sure I'm missing something pretty obvious here, but what?
... TIA
