This won't give expected results for a file named "fooinc.inc". It will become "foohtm.htm". I realize that based on the file names given in the original email this doesn't appear to be an issue, but changing the sed command to sed -e 's/\.inc$/\.html/' may give better (more generally useful) results. Also note the ' instead of " so that the shell doesn't perform variable expansion within the sed command text. The shell will ignore the $ and instead sed uses it to match end of line or string in this case. - Mike _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
