0. Since you passed a file name to cat, it will ignore stdin. 1. Since the here-document belongs to the command in $(), the here-document must also be entirely inside $(). Move the closing ) after "BAD". 2. [0-9]* matches every line, since * matches 0 or more occurrences. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
