That's not really a one-liner, that's just a script with the whitespace taken out. Just my opinion, but I thought the whole point to one-liners was to try to reduce a complex operation to its most compact form so that you could just type it at the command-line when you needed it quickly. If you really want to do it that way, then you should just put the whitespace back in, get the script to work, and then take it out again.
Really, though, one-liners are for the most part beyond the scope of a beginners list. -----Original Message----- From: chad kellerman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 11:29 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: 1 liner question Hello everyone... I am working on a perl one liner for adding quota on multiple partitions. But I can not, for the life of me get the number to add up..
