Question delete

Could someone give me an idea how compress all files from a given directory that are not of type .z (compressed). Please help.

Try:

gzip `ls -I *.z|cat`

I was unable to get this to work with compress for some reason.
If you don't mind using gzip insead of compression this is workable.

Sorry above was for Linux and doesn't work on my Solaris box. This works on Solaris

ls -1 | grep -v `ls -1 *.Z` > templs ; compress `cat templs`;rm templs

compress files

lesstjm,

I have seen at least two other postings on this same topic from you.

The policy for this website is to only post topics once. Please try not to post your topics more than once.

Someone else gave you a good answer to this as follows. Not mine but very good.

find dir -type f -exec compress {} \;

This will find and compress all files of type -f (file) not linked.

If there are any *.z files it will ignore them or ask if you want to recompress them but it will not hurt those files.



Smilie
