Thanks both of you.

find | cut -c 3- | env -i egrep '\.(mpc|mp4|mp3|flac)$' > mp3.txt Yeah I couldn't get regex to play nice in find -shock! Hmm... felt obliged to come to find's defence... how about: find . -iregex '.*\.\(mpc\|mp4\|mp3\|flac\)$' -printf '%P\n' > mp3.txt Have to escape the ( and | but saves some pipes.

Hi antiVortex! A familiar name from CrunchLand. I'm a noob here too, but likely to remain so after you're a master griller.

good grief!!

No more new user registrations, except if the user accepts that I set the user/password up for him.

That sound like the way to go.

/still offtopic find /some/*path/with/asterisks* #without quotes is getting the shell to expand the asterisks and giving the results to find as a list of arguments, ie directories to enter recursively. Maybe something like find /some -path '*path/with/asterisks*' would more likely get what you want?...

hey guys, did 'find' always need quotes to use the * wildcard? yes for regex things like {.avi,.mkv} I don't remember ever needing it, till just recently... Yes. If you leave the * exposed, the shell will get its fingers on it and substitute whatever it can. Sometimes it doesn't matter, but better ...

^ah got it. Thanks. It looks as if there might not have been anything wrong with your original code anyway. I didn't see the * (blame it on the font+my eyes) in front of color in " ...but someone put a '*color' at the beginning of..." so of course as my test file had no asterisks it didn't...

@joe you sure that worked? I've just tried it on a random list file (not Xresources) to no effect. However, this put a 'URxvt' at the front of every line (no discrimination):Thanks for that -i.bak tweak though!

@dkeg that ^a^b trick is amazing!

YES!!

Sorry bout that - a beer too many?
Thanks for catching it.

This guy posts some interesting software: http://onethingwell.org/

Does file A contain the contents of file B? (sort of multi-line grepping) Check if string contains substring (there are other ways of course): [[ $string = *$substring* ]] && echo "$substring is in $string" This works even if the strings contain newlines, so you can compare text fi...

Joe's recursive ls reminded me,to see your processes and their parentage.

^Hainan's a heavy-duty domestic Chinese tourist destination these days? Many foreign visitors?
A (Japanese) friend went there many years ago and I got the impression that then it was a pretty isolated, nothing-happening type place.

^yeh now I remember to click it to full size, it looks like sliced pork belly. Probably good.

btw Bacon how was Hainan?

What's that on the rice - abalone?

edit: Uh-oh I missed a whole page of posts again... Anyway that salad sounds pretty good. Or maybe just boil then and eat with a dab of mustard and some brown bread - salad on the side. (Maybe don't need the mustard if they're spicy.) Or put those fried morsels in fried rice. Or cook them in a toma...
