* ^Subject:.*<\hello\>

still touching on the basics here:

I specified in my file that all cmds are bash:

#!/bin/bash

ls -l
------------

cat ~/myfile.txt

does work so i need the command 'insted of cat' that will execute this file

givin that the file is exectuable.

What is the command to build and display a file in one step?

cat myfile

Hello again,

What im trying to do is to redirect output from a cmd, from the root, to a file. But i guess thats illegal.

I just wanted to know the file size of all files in my system. So:
...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
find / -type f -name '.bashrc' -print -exec grep PS1 '{}' \; 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l...

i have no way of knowing if what i've found modifies the PS1 variable.

ls -lha .bashrc

what i've done is: find / -name .bashrc

which lists all the files on the system that have a name ".bashrc"

when i redirect that output to a file i only get the the .bashrc files that are in...

.bashrc files that modify the PS1 varaible.
or
the .bashrc files that run on login that give me my prompt
