Grep needs the text it is to search for as a quoted string.
On second thought, that is the directions I found on the net, but as
there are no spaces it it it may work without them.
Test on your project and share.

then I got Harold's message and that worked like a charm; although....
* md5sum FileName | grep "96b13dbbc9f3bc569ddad9745f64b9cdb43ea9ae"
Why do you put the quotes in your text? I tried it w/o and with and it
works both ways.

Either eyeball it, drop the md5sum in a file and -c it. Or pull
it into stdin somehow and don't give -c an argument.

thanks James. I think the cksum is correct. So with the 'c'
flag it will check each file against the checksums in a text
file. I remember doing that with linuxfromscratch. What if you
only have one sum? What flag should I enter.... well, let's
check 'man'. Man says check info and info doesn't tell me. Is
there a way to check one file easily?

The -c flag is for when the file you're putting is a text
file with a bunch of checksums in it. Simply do not use -c.

I downloaded a file and want to check it's sum to make
sure it aI got a good D/L. I think I'm doing it wrong.
I d/l the file and type in:
md5sum -c linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
and md5sum seems to open the iso and check the files in it.
Here is the output:

What am I doing wrong?
