hey folks, here's something that ocmes up a lot for me:
I use locate to find a bunch of files: % locate charter | grep -i font /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/bitstrea/charter /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/bitstrea/charter /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bitstrea/charter /usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/bitstrea/charter then I want to ls -l each of these files... so I have to do it by hand at the moment. But shouldn't I be able to automate it with somthing like: ls < locate charter | grep -i font ? nothing I try works -- but I can't believe it's impossible! any hints? thx, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
