Imtrying to read the information, the use the bdf command to list the space used (etc). After that Im trying to get the info to display on the screen.

Below is what Ive been playing around with. While using the while do loop, do you have to use the output redirection?

Code:
while read list
do
        bdf $list
done <junk.txt | cat junk.txt | awk '{print$1}' | sort -n | grep -v used | awk '
{sum += $1} END { print sum;}'



---------- Post updated at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous update was at 09:07 PM ----------

I keep getting the error message:

cat: Cannot open junk.txt: No such file or directory,

I thought by using the awk/cat command it would create this file?

Sorry If Im bothering anyone-just trying to learn.

ucs2any

ucs2any(1)						      General Commands Manual							ucs2any(1)

NAME

       ucs2any - generate BDF fonts containing subsets of ISO 10646-1 codepoints

SYNOPSIS

       ucs2any [ +d | -d ] source-name { mapping-file registry-encoding } ...

DESCRIPTION

       ucs2any	allows	one  to  generate from an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF font other BDF fonts in any possible encoding.  This way, one can derive
       from a single ISO 10646-1 master font a whole set of 8-bit fonts in all ISO 8859 and various other encodings.

OPTIONS

       +d     puts DEC VT100 graphics characters in the C0 range (default for upright, character-cell fonts).

       -d     omits DEC VT100 graphics characters from the C0 range (default for all font types except upright, character-cell fonts).

OPERANDS

       source-name
	      is the name of an ISO 10646-1 encoded BDF file.

       mapping-file
	      is the name of a character set table like those at <ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/>.  These  files  can  also  typically	be
	      found installed in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util/ directory.

       registry-encoding
	      are the CHARSET_REGISTRY and CHARSET_ENCODING field values for the font name (XLFD) of the target font, separated by a hyphen.

       Any number of mapping-file and registry-encoding operand pairs may be specified.

EXAMPLE

       The command
	      ucs2any 6x13.bdf 8859-1.TXT iso8859-1 8859-2.TXT iso8859-2
       will generate the files 6x13-iso8859-1.bdf and 6x13-iso8859-2.bdf.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       Hopefully  a  future  release  will  have a facility similar to ucs2any built into the server, and reencode ISO 10646-1 on the fly, because
       storing the same fonts in many different encodings is clearly a waste of storage capacity.
