[NTLUG:Discuss] scratching head

[Carl Haddick]

OK, I'll bite.

The signature with the pipelined commands - shooting from the hip, I
would say this finds 'normal files', characterizes them with 'file',
takes the text types and cuts the file name out of the 'file' command's
output, and then greps them for "...".

In other words, type all lines in all text files that contain at least
three arbitrary characters, skipping lines that are 0, 1, or 2
characters in length.

Did I get it right? Do I win anything?

:-)
