I made this simple script to test wat u said jimbo:

print -n "Enter file name: "
read name
ls -ld $name |
cut -c2-10 |
/usr/bin/tr [-rwx] [0421] |
sed "s/./&/g" |
awk '{print $1+$2+$3+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9}'


Comes up with a error message:
/usr/bin/tr: Bad string.

Doesn't seem iv soloved the problem, but these worked:
echo "-777" | tr '\-rwx' 0421

echo "rwx" | /usr/bin/tr rwx 421




Just tried this:
ls -l menu | cut -c2-10 | tr '\-rwx' 0421
which produced this outcome:
421000000 (which is correct)

but, when i tried this:
ls -l menu | cut -c2-10 | tr '\-rwx' 0421 | sed "s/./& /g" | awk '{print $1+$2+$3 $4+$5+$6 $7+$8+$9}'
produces:
421000000 which is the same as the above, seems that its not converting.

So, the problem is between:
sed "s/./& /g" |
awk '{print $1+$2+$3 $4+$5+$6 $7+$8+$9}'
those lines of code

Can ne1 help??

RPLAY.HOSTS(5)							File Formats Manual						    RPLAY.HOSTS(5)

NAME
rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts DESCRIPTION
The rplay.hosts file contains a list of hosts and access permissions which rplayd uses to validate incoming connections. Each line is of the form: hostname[:permission] where hostname is the name of a remote host or a host's IP address. Wildcards can be used within IP addresses to match multiple hosts. The wildcard character is "*". permission is an optional field containing any combination of the following characters: r the host can read sounds. w the host can write sounds. x the host can play, stop, pause, and continue sounds. This is normally called execute permission. m the host can monitor the audio stream written by rplayd to the audio device. "rx" permissions are used when no permissions are specified. EXAMPLE
# # All hosts have read access: # *:r # # Trusted hosts: # nice-guy.sdsu.edu:rwx friend.sdsu.edu:rwx amigo.sdsu.edu:rwx 130.191.224.224:rwx # # Hosts which can read and execute: # foo.bar.com:rx 130.190.*:rx 146.244.234.*:rx using.default.perms.edu # # Hosts which can monitor the audio stream # nsa.sdsu.edu:m FILES
/usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts SEE ALSO
rplayd(1) BUGS
The permissions for an "*" entry apply to all matching hosts. The order of this file does not matter. Specific hosts can have access dis- abled with entries like: bad.guy.edu: however, any matching "*" entries will still apply. 12/21/97 RPLAY.HOSTS(5)
