@elph: does the script I posted here https://www.unix.com/302408599-post10.html work for you ?

Power Hi jlliagre

Sorry for my late reply and rudeness, jlliagre.
I tried your script on my environment and got the error as follows;

> sh test.csh
test.csh: `ts=$' unexpected

With set command it also didn't go well at my place in C shell, as we usually use C shell here.
(Our /bin/ksh should be too old or lack of some module, I'm afraid)

But still I'd like to try modifying your good sample for this trial. Many thanks for all of your kind attention.

Rgs,
elph

I'm confused by your tests. What I wrote is a ksh script. You apparently named it test.csh but finally run it through the sh interpreter. These are three different scripting languages and their syntax isn't compatible.

Please use a proper extension if you want too (.ksh) and make this script executable. Run it directly by providing its full path and without specifying an interpreter.

eg:
Code:
mv test.csh ls-timestamp.ksh
chmod +x ls-timestamp.ksh
./ls-timestamp.ksh

@elph
Omitting to mention that this is "C shell" environment with Japanese character set has not helped the posters.

Anyone pursuing this post will need an understanding of this environment.
