As said before, no easy solution for none-easy task, unless you name them wisely, i.e., give similar files similar names. If so, check out http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SUNTONG/File-FindSimilars-2.06/README.html It's super fast to give you the first cut. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
