Hi B19 developers,
The test -w doesn't work on windows and unix files !!!
If I perform the following statement on a read-only file
MyReadOnlyFile, the result is <Is writable> !!!
if [-w MyReadOnlyFile ]
then
echo "Is writable"
else
echo "Is readonly"
fi
My gnu-win32 beta release is:
uname -a : CYGWIN32_NT GLOBBY10 4.0 19.1 i686 unknown
Thanks for help or for patch...
bye
