Hi,
OK. I try again using ">>" with the same file.
C:\Download\test>echo >> test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l test.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 14 Apr 4 00:14 test.txt
C:\Download\test>ls -l --time=ctime test.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 14 Apr 3 23:20 test.txt
The result is identical as with ">". Now time for bash:
C:\Download\test>bash
BASH-2.05b$ echo >> test.txt
BASH-2.05b$ ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 16 Apr 4 00:14 test.txt
BASH-2.05b$ ls -l --time=ctime test.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 16 Apr 4 00:15 test.txt
Again, same as with ">".
So maybe it's not a problem with appending? At least in case of Windows ME.
Regards,
Jacek
