Keywords: UNIX commands, parsing Message-ID: <1398@syma.sussex.ac.uk> Date: 27 Sep 89 10:45:46 GMT Organization: University of Sussex Lines: 29 I'm using mush 6.5.6 on a Sequent Symmetry running Dynix 3.0.15 . The program development environment which we use at Sussex is called Poplog, and the principle language involved is pop11. This is accessed using the UNIX command "pop11". Unfortunately, mush won't deal with UNIX commands that contain numbers in their name (or anywhere in the path: if you're unlucky enough to have /user2/cogs/jasonh as your home directory, you can't run commands in your directory tree using their full pathnames). So I can't run pop11 from mush, as it thinks I'm trying to run a UNIX command called "pop". This would seem to be an error in the way mush itemises text on the command line -- a) has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me? b) If it is a bug, how about a fix? My C is not really up to it... :-) Many thanks, Jason --- Jason Handby | School of Cognitive and Computing Science| JANET: jasonh@uk.ac.sussex.syma University of Sussex | England |
