Hi Jim,
Thanks for your input. Last night I found somewhere else another solution and it's just what I wanted,
Quote:
#
# Cd alias which sets the user prompt
#
if whence _cd >|/dev/null
then
: already set up, do nothing
else
alias cd=_cd
_cd() # CD function
{
cd $1 $2
case $LOGNAME in # include command number in prompt
root) PS1="!# " ;;
*) PS1="`pwd`
!$ " ;;
esac
}
fi
_cd $HOME # Start at home directory

When I do
find . -name "*.txt" -size +0 -exec ls {} \;
I get something like
./lpi_stdout.txt
./lpi_stderr.txt
What would I need to do or pipe it into to strip off those first two characters so I just get
lpi_stdout.txt
lpi_stderr.txt
?
Thanks for the help! (1 Reply)

I am pondering over a situation where I have non-root access (user account), where I am trying to determine paths (including multipaths) on a host.
"luxadm display" seems very appropriate, but requires root access.
Is there anyway I can get the FC path information?

NAME
answer - phone message transcription system
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The interactive program helps you to transcribe telephone (and other) messages into electronic mail.
The program uses your personal alias database and the system alias database, allowing you to use aliases to address the messages.
Options
supports the following options:
Prompt for phone-slip-type message fields.
Allow addresses that are not aliases.
Operation
begins with the prompt. Enter a one-word alias or a two-word user name ("Words" are separated by spaces.) The user name is converted to
an alias in the form where f is the first character of the first word, lastword is the second word, and all letters are shifted to lower-
case. For example, is converted to the alias
Without the option, the specified or converted alias must exist in the alias databases. With the option, if the processed "alias" is not
in the alias databases, it is used for the address as is.
The fully expanded address is displayed.
With the option, you are asked for typical message slip data:
Enter the appropriate data. You can put just an or nothing after the pertinent dash prompts, or you can type longer comments. Whatever
you enter becomes part of the message. Lines with no added text are omitted from the message.
Finally, you are prompted for a message. Enter a message, if any, ending with a blank line. The message is sent and the prompt is
repeated.
To end the program, enter any one of or at the prompt.
EXAMPLES
User input is in normal type.
With No Options
This example shows a valid alias, an invalid user name, and a valid user name. In the invalid case, the converted alias is displayed in
square brackets.
With the -u Option
If you enter the previous error is treated differently.
With the -p Option
If you enter the phone-slip prompts are added. The three lines with no added text are deleted from the message.
