Some common typos that I make alot runs along the lines of: l s-l or ... ls-lt and so on... Since net.sources has been rather quiet for a while, here's a few simple shell scripts to handle these typos: -----------------------Cut here--------------------- # echo You better be running this through /bin/sh ... echo We will be extracting 4 files echo '' echo extracting l ... cat > l << 'End_Of_l' case $1 in s*) eval `echo $* | sed 's=s=ls ='` ;; *) echo "1st arg isn\'t 's'." 1>&2 exit 1 ;; esac End_Of_l echo extracting ls-l ... cat > ls-l << 'End_Of_ls-l' ls -l "$@" End_Of_ls-l echo extracting ls-lt ... cat > ls-lt << 'End_Of_ls-lt' ls -lt "$@" End_Of_ls-lt echo extracting ls-ltd ... cat > ls-ltd << 'End_Of_ls-ltd' ls -ltd "$@" End_Of_ls-ltd exit 0 -- Larry Tepper {ihnp4 | allegra}!drutx!druil!lat +1-303-538-1759
