From my suggestion in post 5, I'm sure you can attempt to replace the sub-process on line 2 (the bit between $( and )) such that the output it creates uses a loop based on a counter to create the required number of rows, but then, however would would handle it if one of the files didn't exist?

Please give us the actual problem you are trying to solve, with the actual conditional, the actual logic and the actual files listed in the actual directory and we might actually be able to help you. Otherwise we're just guessing at what you need help with.





Thanks, in advance,
Robin

quot_hfs

quot_hfs(1M)															      quot_hfs(1M)

NAME

       quot_hfs: quot - summarize ownership on an HFS file system

SYNOPSIS

       filesystem ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  displays  the  number  of	1024-byte blocks in the named HFS filesystem that are currently owned by each user.  filesystem is
       either the name of the directory on which the file system is mounted or the name of the device containing the file system.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Generate a report for all mounted HFS file systems.

	      Report size rather than user statistics.
			Generates histogram statistics in 3-column format:

			     Column 1:	 File size in blocks.  Sizes are listed in ascending order up to 499 blocks per file.  Files occupying 499
					 or  more blocks are counted together on a single line as 499-block files (but column 3 is based on actual
					 number of blocks occupied).

			     Column 2:	 Number of files of size indicated in column 1.

			     Column 3:	 Cumulative total blocks occupied by files counted in current plus all preceding lines.

			Use of this option overrides the and options.

	      Display number of files and space occupied by each user.

	      Specify the file system type

	      Calculate the number of blocks in the file based on file size
			rather than actual blocks allocated.  This option does not account for sparse files (files with holes in them).

	      Accept data from the
			command (see ncheck(1M)) as input.  Run the pipeline:

			to produce a list of all files and their owners.

	      Report on users.
			This is the default action.

	      Display three columns containing the number of blocks
			not accessed in the last 30, 60, and 90 days.

	      Echo the completed command line, but perform no other
			action.  The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from This
			option	allows	the  user  to  verify the command line.  If the options specified are valid, the completed command line is
			echoed.  If the options specified are not valid, an error message is printed.
