Two solutions have already been given. However, I personally think the cleanest is ls -alR 2>/dev/null | grep "index.html" Unless there's a reason to send errors through the pipe and burn CPU processing them, why not kill it right away? As for the other, it's only eating grep's stderr but you want get rid of the ls' error messages. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
