    There's something very satisfying about hacking together a piece of crap like that... it is practically totally without any design at all, just hacked piece by piece until it does what I want...

        Then it sorts the results using the dos sort program...

        Then the finddup program looks for two files with the same name one after the other, and writes the record to a dup file.

        Then it reads through the unsorted file to figure out which directories the files listed in the dup file are in.

        It's an absolute piece of tulipe, but it is mine own...

        I've been writing this stuff for 28 years.

        And now I do it for fun.

        I very much doubt it...
        And why not?

        It's a very Unix-y way of doing things... take a bunch of individual utilities that each does just one thing and does it well, and daisy-chain them together, sending the output of one as the input to the next, to get the job done

              Greetings, salutations, and felicitations O denizens

              Some footballers from the local team came into the FMB Bar tonight.

              A couple of years ago, it appears, they would have been "Premier League footballers" but it transpires that they now play in what we used to call the Third Division.

              So, not very important

              I only know all this because the doorman told me - he found it quite amusing that some mate of his was all over them like a rash, even though he didn't actually recognise two of the three until said doorman had pointed them out.

              I didn't think much of the trailing bints either... or is one not supposed to say such things?

                  For a WAG it is appropriate...
