Hi,

I tried with ur script.Its giving error msg as follows:

xpr:error opening "1, " for input
no such file or directory.

I have tried with following script (assume i have A.txt,B.txt in dir path):

echo "ur dir path:"
read dirp
cd $dirp
for i in *
do
awk 'FNR>5' $i > $i.new
done

With this i am able to delete first five lines.same way i want to delete last five lines also.

Any suggestions ....

Thanks in advance.

Note : one more doubt why am i getting A.txt~.new,B.txt~.new even my *.sh,*.txt files are not opened? I have seen the same scenario in MS word when you open one Word document until you close that doc will get one temp XXX.doc~.tmp something.

Ignore my silly doubts Smilie

Cheers,
Ragavendran

ZipArchive::addFile - Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path

SYNOPSIS
bool ZipArchive::addFile NULL (string $filename, [string $localname], [int $start], [int $length]) DESCRIPTION
Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path. PARAMETERS
o $filename - The path to the file to add. o $localname - If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the $filename. o $start - This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive. o $length - This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt. Example #1 Open and add <?php $zip = new ZipArchive; if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) { $zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt'); $zip->close(); echo 'ok'; } else { echo 'failed'; } ?> NOTES
Note When a file is set to be added to the archive, PHP will lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has been closed, either via ZipArchive::close or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able to delete the file being added until after the lock has been released. PHP Documentation Group ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3)
