Why can't you stat the individual entries by joining > the paths together? I hadn't realized it wasn't portable, but i do see that there's no POSIX entry in its man page. I was actually looking to use getcwd, but its man page had suggested using this open()/fchdir() method. Anyway, is there a reason to avoid changing the directory? If not i'm tempted to take the approach that j.sixt suggested--not restoring the cwd since we're exiting anyway. I don't have any good reason to not do the string manipulation, but why do something more complicated then necessary? sRp -- Scott Parish http://srparish.net/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
