More correctly, comp.unix.shell would be the Usenet group to ask
scripting questions. :)

Heheheh, If you were to ping my email domain seen in the header you
would have the answer to that question.

That would be a good point when posting in comp.unix.shell.

Ohmster will need to post what he tried and show the results of the
command that failed. Not just show script and output. :(

Just asking for code to do his job will pretty much get him into
subject matter expert's kill files.

Ask yourself, are there any </A> tags in the script?
What happens if I remove them?

Well, it is not that hard of a script to figure out when you
understand the commands.

set -- $_line <=== breaks the line down into command line arguments.
if you were to do a
man shift
you would get a hint as to look next. Then doing a
man bash
and using the search command
/shift \
you would understand what that does.

That would be either a "Strip shortest match of $substring from back of $string"
seen in http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN22102 under
Table B-5. String Operations

Or maybe you need location and use other substring operations to tear
out the offending character string.

Do read the "Meaning" section of
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN22102

Dang, search command should have been
/shift \[

Agreed. I have it in my subscribed list. Do you frequent the newsgroup?
Might be best to move the discussion there, depends on if this will be a
quick matter or not. I will read your next message and make that
determination.

Probably fake, let's see...

Got me on that one. Inside computer joke I would say. Maybe a throwback
"from the old days of programming" or something. Good one though. :)

Yes it will. I was afraid someone would mistake me for a school kid
trying to get his homework done for free but at least you know me and
gave me a real answer. John and Michel did too, thanks guys.

No, just a feature of how the Internet works.

No, mouse-potato.com is a registered domain. Not by me by the way.
Do a
