I think that's what we call "sloppily written" scripts :-). Yes, you can fairly easily make mistakes so that ordinary ASCII characters work but some special characters don't. But if you get in good habits, it's pretty easy to write scripts that work with whatever you feed them or they find on the disk. Mostly you have to remember to put double quotes around variable references on the command line. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
