intent (example): list all files in a directory that aren't html files. $ ls --except *.html
I can obviously pipe ls though grep -v to get the result, but I can't put the result back into ls because ls doesn't accept stdin. Hence, this does not work: $ ls | grep -v .html | ls [OPTIONS] I want the nicely formatted result that ls gives (w/appropriate formatting params), but from input not necessarily from the command line. -- --dan http://www.danheller.com/ _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
