Hmmm, is this a bug or what? The argument one can send to echo are first n and len n (and newline...) this strange part is that first doesn't act as if it should... echo "hello" len 2 lo echo "hello" first 2 ello First of all (bad pun), it counts wrong, second of all, shouldn't it return echo "hello" first 2 he ??? Anyway, I can across this while trying to get the date len 8 thing (just the time) to convert to 12 hour instead of 24 hour...which can be done using variables, ifs, and eval, if only echo worked... (any other ways of doing this? I'm going to write a time command in 'C', but it'll probably be sorta large compared to the arp commmands...) Also... Try if ? it'll tell ya all about it...but it won't let you exit till you type endif -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | Pawn@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Mass, U.S.A. | | Pawn@wpi.Bitnet main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); } | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
