I'm doing this to keep my bash PATH var. small while enabling me to call most of my programs from the shell. Anyways, I'm running into problems when the filename include a path with a space in it, such as "Program Files". I tried putting quotes around the path but the script still screws up the statement. One way around this is to use the 8 character length names. Is there a way to force find and ls to output the small filenames? Or is there another way to get the script working? > >Thanks, > >Michael Zawacki > >EXAMPLE FILE: > > >/lotus/smartctr/smartctr.exe >/lotus/smartctr/suitest.exe >/lotus/wordpro/wordpro.exe >/"Program Files"/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/ar.exe >/"Program Files"/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/as.exe change to: /Program\ Files/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/as.exe > - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
