It works fine if you have multiple devices because you can only run it against one account and one device at a time. "ls -i" doesn't span directory hierarchies or devices. You do at least have to know what device the file in question is on, but if you don't know that there's no tool that will reliably work for you.

It uses "ls -i", so it's imited to files in the account you run the command from, though. Works ine for us because all of our users work out of the same account. This s the relevant part of the code: INODE.NO = TRIM(READU.ARRAY<I,3>) EXECUTE 'SH -c "ls -i | grep ':INODE.NO:'"', OUT > FILENAME IF FILENAME<1,1,1> # '' THEN FILENAME = FIELD(TRIM(FILENAME<1,1,1>),' ',2) 'L#8' It's also pretty resource intensive because it re-lists the entire ccount for every inode. Probably not much of an issue if your hardware s fairly new. -John -----Original Message----- rom: [email protected] mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wjhonson ent: Friday, March 16, 2012 12:24 PM o: [email protected] ubject: [U2] Turn a device and inode into file name nyone have an easy way to do this? n the past I've run a batch routine to just query each and every niverse file for it's inode and device and build a table of these Every week.... eems like a great amount of overkill to me. ou could also mod the CREATE-FILE command to sniff it and make an xref ntry but .... Any suggestions? his is NOT for the case where you know the file and want to find the node and device It's for the case where you know the inode and device only) and want to find the file. ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list [email protected] ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list [email protected] ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
