Okay, but this doesn't work: $> ls -nl file* -rw------- 1 1000 1000 0 2005-12-03 16:56 file 1 -rw------- 1 1000 1000 0 2005-12-03 16:56 file 2 $> DIRS="'file\ 1 file\ 2'"; ls -ln $DIRS ls: 'file\: No such file or directory ls: 1: No such file or directory ls: file\: No such file or directory ls: 2': No such file or directory $> DIRS="'file\ 1 file\ 2'"; ls -ln "$DIRS" ls: 'file\ 1 file\ 2': No such file or directory I guess I am missing something here. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
