I am not a computer programmer...but I have a question.

We run several "unix scripts", created by a previous employee... on our SGI 02 machines, several times a day.

Just found out we are switching to WINDOWS
computers next month.

How will i get this to run!?
Yikes!

PLEASE SEE SCRIPT BELOW:

It looks your script is doing a ton of parsing using standard unix tools like sed, grep, cat, rm, etc. It also looks like all the parsing starts with a file called:

../../COMPUTERDATA/climateexport

So, I'm assuming this file will exist on your window's box?

If you want to keep the changes to a minimum, I'd obtain a unix toolkit for windows. (Windows alone just doesn't have the tools for this kind of job).

There are lots toolkits available. There's cygwin available from http://www.cygwin.com and the MKS toolkit availabe from http://www.mks.com Cygwin is free while MKS is not. Even window's has their own unix tool kit, but I haven't used it. (I believe it has to be downloaded).

There's also the question of the directory structure. It needs to be duplicated if you expect the script to run with little or few changes.

Good luck.
