I executed your script and it run without problem. It mean no error in script. Okay lets see if your path #/usr/bin/ksh is correct or not as I'm on Linux rignt now my path is #/bin/ksh Try to add

Before typecase command in script to debug script. I hope myfile is in same directory where script is located.

Rocky,
Even if u can help, pls, I want to know. I will appreciate it if you can disect what each line does. As you know, I am really very new.

Thanks,

Rocky,

I figured out what is going on. I was getting very large output. The reason is because some of the files in the data file were directories and I did not realize that. I have removed the directories from the data file and it works fine.

Thanks.


The scripts is supposed to read each line from the file "myfile" and do a "ls -l" on each file.....

Always check script/program on different set of input.
