I think this CAN be done from arexx what's the Hex Code for ^j ? do a line like this. CJ = char(Hex of the ^j) string = string || CJ /* this adds ^j to end of string*/ search string see no reason this woilden't work. . NOW MY PROBLEM. I got files i can't find on my floppy, they run and act like they is thers., but they don't show up, Yes i tried the -h file option of ls 4.0k (i'm usinf this ls) but these files don't show up on browser/dir/list/anything else i use. BUT THE FILES ARE THERE!, They WORK they run they are invisible!. any ideas. . -- yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York Agricultural Engineering, Purdue University

DiskSalv can recover the files onto another floppy in this case. The in-place disk fixers (diskdoctor, fixdisk) probably won't handle it. The disk optimizers will completely destroy the floppy. (requiring diskdoctor or fixdisk to get it back to even the unsorted state) >yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.

Your problem may be at least partially due to the fact that ls 4.0 is case-sensitive. I went back to 3.2 (I think) because of this.
