here is the error running the script.
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERNS [FILE]...
Try 'grep --help' for more information.
(yes I typed help, did not help me)
here are the two areas in the script calling grep
cat /fido/etc/areas_fidonet | grep EchoArea | grep 1:105/81 |sort> $TMPFILE
while read -r line
do
TAGLONG=`echo $line|awk {'print $2'}`
TAGSHORT=`echo $line|awk {'print $2'}|sed s/FIDO_//`
FILE=`echo $line|awk {'print $3'}`
DESC=`cat backbone.na | grep $TAGLONG | awk '{$1=""; print $0}'|sed
's/\r$//'`
Greetings All!
I am trying to use a modified bash script from a fellow sysop to
import msg areas into maximus bbs, I changed the particulars to my
setup and left the rest alone. I get a grep error, I was hoping
someone here could spot the error as grep is not my strong suit.

haha. thats my script :)
try: grep "1:105/81" or set it as a variable as in the original script
;)

It worked thankyou! Is there a way to have maxmimus number the echo's instead of fidonet.echoname,
or perhaps some way to scroll and select
with arrow keys?

Strange... On my linux in bash these give the same result:
# echo 1:1/1 | grep 1:1/1
1:1/1
# echo 1:1/1 | grep "1:1/1"
1:1/1
There is an alias for grep:
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
But that shouldn't make a difference. Maybe on ubuntu it's different?
