Some time ago, someone posted a few zsh commands that were pretty powerful. File globbing is built right into the shell. If you have zsh installed, type these commands for fun: zsh # startup the shell ls **/**.html grep "foobar" **/**.html I'm sure someone else more knowledgeable in zsh can boast about it's capabilities, but I know I'm impressed. If that feature was in bash, I'd use it practically everyday. -David _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
