Thanks much! I *did* learn that with just FS, no need "END".
Maybe you can help me figure out what I'm trying to do because
I'm wedged!!
I've got 80 or so html/php files. Most do have
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF">
but a whole slew do not/are missing the BG color code.
So is there some scripto-magic way of finding out which fles are
missing the above string? I know how, using an ed/ex script to
insert this string.
My hacker brain seems to be on strike!
