How about if [[ `grep -li "Processing completed correctly" *` != "" ]]; then rm `grep -li "Processing completed correctly" *` fi although from what I've read in "The Unix Haters Handbook", Paul's way is more in line with the "unix philosophy" -- laziness. In this case, you should expect rm files you can write to succeed ?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
