Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How can we change the permissions of a file in a directory Post 302396145 by jgt on Wednesday 17th of February 2010 10:54:25 PM

grep with the -v option will list all the values that do not match the template.

so:
Code:
list=`ls |grep -v X.ksh`
chmod 0755 $list

Alternatively change the permissions on all files to 0755, and attempt to change the list of 10 files back to what they should be.

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
