Hey.. Trying to figure out how to do a single line cmd (it should be possible right??) to do a tail -5 for a list of files??? I thought I could combine find with exec/xargs and tail to generate the list of files/tail data.. But couldn't figure out the syntax.. thoughts?? find /foo -name "*dog.dat ... tail -5 << obviously not correct!
Indee
what would work?
If I understood you correctly, then find /foo -name "*dog.dat"|tail -5 should do the job. You forgot the pipe sign :-) Kind regards Joachim Backes
