What a relief! [...] I am not quite there yet. I'd sometimes need something like: for f in `ls` { echo $f } So what would be the equivalent to bash: for f in `ls`; do echo $f; done or for f in $(ls); do echo $f; done ? Or is this one of the things eshell can't do? I sometimes use something like this to rename all files in a directory or all files with a specific extension or things like that. How would I do this in eshell from the command line? Oliver -- 28 Vendémiaire an 212 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
