I need to write a script with kornshell which does this: THE SCRIPT GOES THROUGH A CERTAIN FILE AND SEARCHES FOR ANY ROW THAT CONTAINS THIS SENTENCE: "File not found". AFTER FINDING ALL THOSE ROWS, IT WILL REDIRECT THOSE ROWS TO ANOTHER FILE. I preciate any kind of help. Thanka in advance, Foad

grep 'File not found' sourcefile > targetfile Or to append to targetfile instead of overwriting it: grep 'File not found' sourcefile >> targetfile

I need to create a kornshell script that include ftp commands . I already created this shell but I'm not able to check if the ftp finish well or not . Any suggestion will be very apreciates . Thanks and Regards Emilio Frini emifrini@tin.it
