Hello, I'm a newbie and I would like to ask you guys about scripting. I need to write a script that does chmod functions on files/directories listed at separate file. (it doesn't have to be a argument. the script already knows the name of the file.) For example, let say there is a file list_files.txt list_files.txt : 750 /usr/src/tmp 750 /usr/src/lib How do I feed each line to chmod? (maybe with cat?) How about if I need to do some filtering, using regular expression? I'm sorry to bother you guys with such a simple question. Where can I find more books about unix scripting? I just bought "mastering regular expression" from O'Reilley. Is this a right choice? Thank you for your help.
