sorry.. I tryed to run it by its self..

so.. how do I hook long regular expressions together? or is that possible.

I thought I was to use ! but it seems there is some other operator that lets you string commande together? or do I need to assign varibles? this is really hard. I know nothing about programming

so im trying

echo ' the root directory on' $HOSTNAME 'has' ls -gko / | egrep '^d' | wc -l

which dos not work. im sure the problem is between 'has' and the ls cammand. Im thinking that I may need to use the ls command and save the output to a varible? and then have the echo command display that varialbe? am I even on the right track?

echo -n ' the root directory on' $HOSTNAME 'has ' ; ls -gko / | egrep '^d' | wc -l

wow.. thanks for the help

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such dictionar-
