I'm writing a database in shell script. I've encountered a number of problems, including how to change or delete particular records and searching for records by multiple criteria. The data is in single lines with tabs sepatating fields. I have tried a number of approaches to no avail. Can anyone drop me some code chunks or suggest some good books to help? Thanks. Marty BTW, How come grep $FOO $BASE|grep $BAR|grep $BAR1 doesn't return a 1 if it fails, it gives a 0 on success...... BASE=datafile FOO, BAR & BAR1=user supplied variables -- Marty Wiedmeyer martin@lakesys.lakesys.COM
