RE: [sqr-users] Unix command in SQR

[Dattatraya Shetty <datta_shetty@yahoo.com>]

Hi Gopal,
    Did some digging and here is what I came up with the problem is {}
are creating an issue. 

 Please see the enclosed sample program I created as a work around. 
================== Sample ==========================================
begin-program

encode <123> into $open
encode <125> into $close

let $cmd = 'find . -name "*.sqr" -exec basename ' || $open || $close ||
' \; > /tmp/tp_out'

show $cmd

call system using $cmd #s wait

end-program
=================================================================

this worked like a Charm and when I cat /tmp/tp_out file I have the 
file names of the sqr files in the current directory. 

Hope I have answered the question.
Datta.
