Hi Bruce,
Hey..
Trying to figure out how to do a single line cmd (it should be
possible right??) to do a tail -5 for a list of files???
I thought I could combine find with exec/xargs and tail to generate
the list of files/tail data.. But couldn't figure out the syntax..
thoughts??
find /foo -name "*dog.dat ... tail -5 << obviously not correct!
Indee
what would work?
If I understood you correctly, then
find /foo -name "*dog.dat"|tail -5
should do the job. You forgot the pipe sign :-)
Kind regards
Joachim Backes
thanks..
