Hi ! I cannot figure thsi out: i want to select a numer of files and cat the content of a file to all selected. I try this by: find -name "db.[^0-9^root^local^netrt]*" -print | cat tmp/db.netrt.de $1 or find -name "db.[^0-9^root^local^netrt]*" -print | xargs cat tmp/db.netrt.de $1
i also tried several other combinations, but i cannot work out why it is not working... __________________________________________________________ Nik Engel NETWAYS GmbH Senior Systems Engineer Deutschherrnstr. 47a Fon.0911/92885-13 D-90429 Nürnberg Fax.0911/92885-33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.netways.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
