I've wrestled with it in the past, but now I don't bother - I just use $ to represent $ instead.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ![](\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b2083fa8a0f60df479da38dbc1256def&size=32&default=http://mediacdn.disqus.com/1320279820/images/noavatar32.png\"/)
\r\n Yay\r\n Hi,\r\nCute script. I changed the last line like this to remove the file if it has got no links:\r\n\r\nif test `cat ${FN} |wc -c` = 18; then rm ${FN}; else touch -d \"${DATE} 23:59\" ${FN}; fi\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
