I use a little script someone gave me in cygwin to add a line to a number of Windows text files: for F in *.txt do awk '{if (NR==7) {print "Datei: " FILENAME}; print}' "$F" > tmp.txt mv tmp.txt "$F" done It works, but it does *something* else to my text files. It seems to alter all the linefeeds or all the blank lines. This causes problems when I want to import those text files into Asksam later on. The files *look* the same, however. -- Paul Batt, Redaktion Baublatt, Schützenrain 23, 8047 Zürich Tel. +41 (1) 242 39 76 Fax +41 (1) 242 20 94 Mobile +41 (0)79 318 64 58 E-Mail paul.batt@baublatt.ch Web http://www.pbatt.ch -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
