FYKI, I did read the man page and am not ashamed to admit that I missed the \% syntax completely. With the string working on CLI, my eyes saw only the tree and not the branches (%), metaphorically of course. It happens to the best of us no? I am willing to bet it has happened to you as well i.e. the problem is staring at you in the face and you don't see it. My question seems to have irked you. I sense sarcasm in "Googling is too ..." and "Do you see your ..." FYKI, I have been using Unix as an end user since 1984, Linux as an user and admin since late 1994. As for Google searching - I have been searching Unix/Linux archives since the days of dejanews.com (early 1996) prior to Google acquiring them and incorporating into their search archive. IMO, a Google search for my particular problem would be an overkill. I am disappointed that your correct answer is marred by your remarks. In contrast, Raju Mathur has answered the problem so gracefully. -- Arun Khan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
