I remember the command I am more specifically looking for, it is a command that says to do expansion twice on a line, anyone remember what this is? basically if you have a variable that looks as follows echo $FOO -g "dba apps" the double quotes will get exanded another time so they are picked up correctly when you call foo.sh $FOO - Ethan -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Post, Ethan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
