More or less. Less, when the filenames are too many. See questions posted on this very same list about ``too many arguments''. The ``while read line; do stuff with $line; done'' loop doesn't suffer from the same limitation, but is a bit more expensive in terms of the number of spawned processes and (consequently) the time it takes to run. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
