Hi,
I am trying to write a little shell script,
now... for the example I'll make it simple...
I want to assign $VARIABLE... Which has to contain the following
it has to do an "ls -1", which will list all files in a dir, line by line,
one per line...
So, $VARIABLE will contain:
FILE1
FILE2
FILE3
and so on...
Now, I want to "echo" the FIRST line, so the FIRST FILE.. $VARIABLE[0] or
whatever does not work with shell...
Does anyone have a quick hint maybe? :)
Thanks
