Hi I want to extract the installation file IDS.CPI from the informix cd using CPIO, but when i view the contents of the cd i get "IDS.CPI;1". CPIO wont recognise IDS.CPI and I havent got a clue what the ";1" means. I'm running HP-UX by the way. Can anyone shine any light on this please as its sending me nuts. Thanks in advance Paul

Copy it to your HDD and rename the file? -- Bye now, Obnoxio "I don't read newspapers anymore except the local rag which I do weekly to cheer myself trying to see if anyone I hate has been stabbed." -- Horribilis XVI -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by OpenProtect(http://www.openprotect.com), and is believed to be clean.

Paul- You need a "\\" before the ";" because Unix and Linux use ";" to indicate the beginning of a second command on the same line. Try: cpio -icpdumB < IDS.CPI\\;1 --EEM -----Original Message----- From: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:informix-list-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Paul Lindsay Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 8:46 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Problem extracting IDS.CPI Hi I want to extract the installation file IDS.CPI from the informix cd using CPIO, but when i view the contents of the cd i get "IDS.CPI;1".
