He actually started off with a i think portable find(1)-only variant; find(1) allows for pretty complex conditions, and i personally am pretty unsure, and always have to check several times, especially with multiple conditions (do i need \( .. \) constructs, for exaxmple). Same with sed(1). I for one need quite a bit of time with these, so i most often go awk instead (or perl), which just comes naturally to me. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
