5. Give B.txt the same permissions as A.txt
I assume that there is some set of variables I can look at to find various
attributes of A.txt, so that $APerm = permissions(A.txt) or something, so
I can do chmod $APerm B.txt in step 5.
From the "setfacl" man page:

Greetings,
I have a shell script which duplicates a file and then renames the
duplicate file; the trick is that the duplicate file needs to have the
same permissions as the original file. For example:
1. Open file A.txt
2. Manipulate A.txt
3. Save A.txt as A.txt.tmp
4. Rename A.txt.tmp t

Just replace the single quotes with double quotes. Single quotes are
keeping the $vars from being evaluated.

It's telling you it can't tokenize the expressions, right? Spacing and

Thanks to both of you for responding. The empty quotes works best for
what I wanted to do (which I should have been clearer on in the first
place). I wanted to make the first choice in a menu the "default", ie,
just hit , and the empty quotes allow me to do that:

Now that I think about it, you asked for how to check
for a response of just cr-lf. Here's what I should
have sent you:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Please answer yes or no: "
read answer
if [ x"$answer" = x"" ];
then
echo
echo "*** Invalid Response! ***"
echo
exit -1
fi
I think what I would do is put a check in for an empty
response before the case statement is ever reached.
Here's an example of what I mean:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Please answer yes or no: "
read answer
if [[ x"$answer" != x"yes" && x"$answer" != x"no" ]];
then
echo
echo "*** Invalid

Saul,
Thank you, that works beautifully. I modified it slightly to allow a
user to enter a search pattern on the command line, to wit:
#!/bin/sh
echo -e "Enter a file or pattern to search for...\n"
read file
for i in `find . -name "$file"`

Thanks again!

What you want to do is extract the address of the person to replay to, and

I'm going to think about this one... I don't think procmail is the correct
route, and would think that sendmail and/or a listserv app like majordomo
