And you need this script to be written in Baja?

I guess it doesn't really have to be. A simple batch file would probably suffice.

Does't work. Is this a UNIX command?

'sed' traditionally comes with *nixes, but you can also get it for Windows. e.g. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328, unxutils.zip includes a Win32 build of sed.

It is now moot. I found a VBS that does what I want but it seems like Smegzot has some code that removes the CTRL-L in the file. I will have to put up with that annoying "SmegZOT v1.00 aRf" and "SmegWARE [Registered] in my logon.asc.

You can get 'sed' for windows. But I suppose, since it's usually a part
of a base UNIX install, the answer is "yes".

So the man from Kamloops is no longer appreciated! Pore ole Darryl.

Well, maybe you could try

grep -v "\(SmegZOT\|SmegWARE\)" inputfile > outputfile

and see if... Oh. Sorry, I forgot.

i'm thinking you have some bulletin generator and it has 'unregistered' version, or something like that.


what i would recommend is a text replacement program that you can put in a batchfile.

i have a great one called 'xchange' if you want it.

if the file is always the same length, you can use sometihng like 'tail' for your windows OS

a while back i mentioned to you that i used ndos for its GLOBAL command,
which preforms a command on all files and files in the sub dirs.

you mentioned that you had a similar program that did the same thing?
do you recall the name and where one could pick it up?

I have a 16-bit DOS program called sweep.exe, I think it can from a PCMag utility set, which will execute a specific command-line in each sub-directory of the current directory, recursively. I also have a Win32 program called 'each', which I wrote and executes a specified command-line for every file in the current directory, but it doesn't recurse. So I don't think either of these program do what GLOBAL does, but perhaps a combination of the 2 would (with 16-bit limitations). Probably not what you're looking for.

Sounds like he's looking for a Windows version of the unix find utility... which is probably included with that unix utilities bundle on sourceforge.

ah, found sweep.exe and also found a program called global.exe which does the same thing with a few more features.

hate to give ndos.com the boot, there's a lot of useful things it can do.

Sometimes i forget to do cmd /c for the functions and filenames get
truncated, though.

never liked 4nt.

me?

didnt think that version of find was for executing commands on files in recursive dirs\

i have several copycat unix utils and my copy of find doesnt do that.
