I wonder If anyone can help me with a script file? I am using the csh and trying to read a bunch of files that have the first 2 lines with where they are supposed to go and what they are supposed to be named. If the file is there then add it to the file - the first 2 lines? I was trying to do this with ed and a temp file. I don't know how to read the first line and change to that path. Also how to know if the file is there? Any help would be very usefull. Robert Oliver robby@nuchat.sccsi.com
