I use the PIPEOUT to pipe the contents of text files with long fileneames into the List utility. PIPEOUT *.txt | List You can also pipe the list of files into PIPEOUT dir *.txt/b |pipeout Since the output of PIPEOUT is sent to STDOUT, you can also redirect the output to another file. PIPEOUT *.txt > file PIPEOUT will put insert the name of each file into the output so that you may identify where each file starts. The file name will be enclosed in dashes and angle brackets as shown below. <------ pipeout.doc --------> I have posted it on my web page and it is a free download. http://www.cottagesoft.com/~dwhawk/pipe.zip Don Hawkinson , author of CCA, DH-Grep-PM, PMStripper, Pastry Box, and DH_ClipSave/2 http://www.cottagesoft.com/~dwhawk dwhawkatintcon.net -- To unsubscribe yourself from this list, send the following message to majormajoratos2voice.org unsubscribe news end If you have an announcement you would like posted to the VOICE News list, please send it to submitatos2voice.org.
