Just two questions

Another interesting point.

I write all letters using the Open Office wordprocessor. It is in the folder called 'Documents'

I have a file or rather a letter called ' Access-Lists1.sxw '

This is about Cisco's Access Control Lists. I am sure peole who work with Cisco routers or rather networking are aware of those Access Control Lists.

/home/nissanka/Documents/Access-Lists1.sxw

------------------------------------------------------

[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 ~]$ ./rim5 'Access-Lists1.sxw'
./rim5: line 11: $: command not found
cat: Access-Lists1.sxw: No such file or directory
[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 ~]$
-------------------------------------------------------

Why didn't it find the file? Is it because the file is in another folder? It is not in the ' /home/nissanka ' folder.

It finds the files in ' /home/nissanka ' directory.

----------------------------------------------------

[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 ~]$ pwd
/home/nissanka
[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 ~]$
-----------------------------------------------------

I went into the ' Documents ' directory

[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 ~]$ cd Documents
[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 Documents]$

[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 Documents]$ ./rim5 Access-Lists1.sxw
bash: ./rim5: No such file or directory
[nissanka@c83-250-110-112 Documents]$

No, it didn't find.

Do you have any clue?

Hi,

The script must be able to access the file, this can be done in 2 ways:

1) execute the script from within the directory the document is in. I.e:

cd /home/nissanka/Documents
/home/nissanka/rim5 Access-Lists1.sxw

2) execute the script and give it the file including the complete path. I.e:

./rim5 /home/nissanka/Documents/Access-Lists1.sxw

In the above example you could use the relative path. rim5 is in /home/nissanka, so you could do: ./rim5 Documents/Access-Lists1.sxw

PS: sxw files are not plain text and catting them could result in a none operational terminal.

Hope this helps.

Druuna, as I said you are a clever Dutchman.

The following worked fine.

./rim5 /home/nissanka/Documents/Access-Lists1.sxw

The file is in binary format. So it is illegible.
