Fair enough; I generally prefer the xargs method in case I have to do any more processing later. Also, xargs' batching may potentially save you a bit of time, but I doubt that'd be noticable. Thanks, Josh -- Josh Tolbert hemi@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition.
