I have some bash files with: arg=$* sa-learn --<list of args> $arg One file is spam.spam, one is spam.ham, etc... They just have different args in the sa-learn line... Anyways.. I then need input of any files in the directory containing an email address, all on the same line for the input to spam.spam or spam.ham..etc. So.. This works for the first part: grep -R 'email' * | awk -F: '{print $1}' | uniq | xargs echo -n This also works: grep 'email' * | cut -f 1 -d : | tr \\012 \\40 I then need that input to go into the spam.spam or spam.ham files as if I typed it all like: spam.spam file1 file2 file3 file4 I can't figure out how to do this part, as I tried: grep 'nittany' * | cut -f 1 -d : | tr \\012 \\40 | spam.spam And spam.spam | grep 'nittany' * | cut -f 1 -d : | tr \\012 \\40 Neither worked. So, for the time being, I said I will just run the first comamnd, copy and past after the spam.spam or spam.ham filename. Does this clear things up? I understand what I want to do... Sorry if I'm not explaining correctly. Do you need anymore info? Thanks for the help, Jake -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
