Does anyone know if there is a way to write an AmigaDos Script Command that will copy the files from DH0: that do NOT have their Archive Bits set to RAM: ? Or any ideas for a Work-Around? — Gary Lucas —

Gary, If you are familiar with the text-manipulation "language" named AWK you could do it pretty easily… mebbe a 3 or 4 line AWK "program" would take output from the LIST command and strip off those without the "a" in position X (?) and build a sequence of COPY's which could be executed as a batch… I think AWK is around here on CIS. Let me know if you are interested further. – da – via Whap!

Daryl, Thanks for the info. I will look for "AWK" here on CI$ and see what I can do. — Gary Lucas —
