Perhaps because it itself is nested in a 'foreach' > statement. `foreach' is a csh construct. If you copied the case/esac code posted by Garrett, then it wouldn't work. The syntax used by Garrett was for the Bourne shell (hence the /bin/sh reference above case). If you are going to convert everything to /bin/sh, you may as well convert it to Perl unless there is some very good reason to use only the pretty minimal data-structures supported by the Bourne shell (i.e. because you want to run the script in environments where Perl may be too much to require). - Giorgos _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
