To find a file in unix

Hi all,

I am starting this post because we can maintain a list of common unix commands used by GLOBUS professionals. I know many of them need various commands but things like compress, tar, gzip are the most commonly used unix commands. Please reply with as much unix command as possible. Also i would request ppl to avoid commands like ls -l*,rm -R...

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards
IRON

Supposing that there is a directory with 10 files. We go to that directory and type (exactly as below ? from ksh or bash) :

for file in `ls -1`;do sed -e 's/Panos/Emily/g' <$file >$file.x;mv $file.x $file;done

or :

sed -e 's/Panos/Emily/g' <input_file >temp_file
mv temp_file input_file

This will replace all occurrences of word Panos with the word Emily inside all files.

To execute OS related commands like

COPY
REMOVE
MOVE
.....

Use SYSTEM.CALL subroutine.

If one wishes to copy the reports from HOLD.CONTROL to another unix folder when the user verifies the ENQUIRY.REPORT, they can set the PRINTER.ID and use it in DE.FORM.TYPE, The Id of the DE.FORM.TYPE can be used in REPORT.CONTROL, which inturn is attached to ENQUIRY.REPORT, A sample record of PRINTER.ID is shown below:

PRINTER.NAME...... ACSTMT

---

1 PRIME.PRINTER.ID.. HOLD
4. 1. 1 COMMAND..... SH -c 'cp ../bnk.data/eb/'&amp;HOLD&amp;'/&amp;HOLD.CONTROL>@I
4. 1. 2 COMMAND..... D&amp; STMT.BP/&amp;HOLD.CONTROL>REPORT.NAME&amp;.ID&amp;
12 CURR.NO........... 4
13. 1 INPUTTER....... 1_ID.KARTHIK1
