I think most shells will accept a multi-line command along the lines of : elmer $ for file in `ls` > do > echo $file > guide $file -na -ns > done
Note the back-quotes (not single-quotes) around ls Some people can also do clever things with semi-colons to put it all on one line, but I've never got the hang of that ! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Adrian Matthews Sent: 26 August 2004 15:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Need some help with guide Been a very long time since I used it but I'd say the command line that is built by the * (ie select all files) is too big (guide file1 file2 file3 fiel4 etc) Can't remember the exact unix syntax but under DOS you can do "For Each %F in (*.*) do guide %F -na -ns" That will run guide for each file in turn. ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
