Re: truncating files

[Carl Mummert <mummert@cs.wcu.edu>]

Summary:

1) > foo
2) cp /dev/null foo

Problems:

1) I use set -C in bash, so I can't say > foo if foo exists wthout
first saying set +C.

2) cp /dev/null foo won't take multiple filenames as arguments


So teh answer is that I do need a script or program to do the job.
