Post the OS and version you are using. Post an example of the files content.

syntax is correct? If I try this on Solaris, it gives an error.

If this is suppose to be the error you are getting, it's not very clear (most OS's don't put "is that right". Post the actual error you are getting - don't add to it.
If it's complaining that the file name is too long, you could try to rename your file. Post the file name if this is the issue.

Again, post the OS and version you are using. Post an example of the files content.
