  then
    echo "$file is both readable and writeable"
  fi
done

I tried your solution: i have a text file on my desktop which contain the word "cavallo". When i run the script from Desktop directory and i insert, when asked, the string "cavallo" this is the result:
Code:
Last login: Fri Jan  8 10:02:32 on ttys000
localhost:~ Teo$ cd Desktop
localhost:Desktop Teo$ ksh prova.ksh
Write a string
cavallo
ls: *cavallo*: No such file or directory
localhost:Desktop Teo$

I also tried that but it doesn't work, how can you filter files on their permissions with that?

Thank you.

Ok there was a misunderstading. The script seems to work, but not with every file, if there is a space in the name it doesn't work!

fwb_compile_all

fwb_compile_all(1)						 Firewall Builder						fwb_compile_all(1)

NAME

       fwb_compile_all - Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects

SYNOPSIS

       fwb_compile_all -ffile.xml [-dwdir] [-av] [obj[ obj ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       fwb_compile_all is a wrapper script that compiles policies for several firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of fire-
       wall object names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see below) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script correctly
       determines which policy compiler is needed depending on the firewall platform of each object.

OPTIONS

       -a     The script processes all firewall objects in the "/Firewalls" subtree.

       -d wdir
	      Specify  working directory.  Compiler creates file with iptables script in this directory.  If this parameter is missing, then ipta-
	      bles script will be placed in the current working directory.

       -f FILE
	      Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

       -v     Script passes this option to the compiler, this makes it print diagnostic messages indicating its progress.

       Firewall Builder home page is located at the following URL: http://www.fwbuilder.org/
