Just illustrating and example of how this might be done when a bash or ksh script needs a little more scripting muscle. It merely illustrates a method for leveraging PERL within bash or shell of choice, when OS utilities fall a little short. No one tool can do it all, though PERL comes very close, but, when it can't... the illustration offers by example an enhancement to your existing tools out of the box. roboticus, Sorry we don't share the same out-of-box thinking. I have seen other requests for this type of method. Merely fulfilling a need to know, whether you agree or not.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
