I want to get the answer to: find . \( -name $1 \) -ok mv $HERE/$12 {} \; ( $? doesn't work because the find doesn't bomb.) i.e. when I type in "y" how can I test for it later? Right now I'm asking myself if it was moved after the above command. Thanks for the help. glex at msc.umn.edu === " I don't date any girl that says bitch'n " ===
