Just so you understand how the quoting works here: you can't escape single quotes with backslashes inside a single-quoted string. The \'cowrite.*\' ends the first single-quoted string and inserts a single quote into the command, since the backslash acts as an escape character in an unquoted context. The double quote after -delete starts a new double-quoted string, which is not terminated when the shell reaches the end of the script. > ./aa.sh: line 16: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' > ./aa.sh: line 17: syntax error: unexpected end of file -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
