No, not moaning, just remarking on how much more complicated Mac stuff is.
It confirms that I was right not to go further down that path. I'm not clever enough.
What are you on about ?
Mac OS X ... as used by your average Joe, i.e used via the graphical interface is not complicated. It is most certainly not more complicated than Windows, and infact, I would even say it is easier and simpler than Windows at graphical level.
If you're messing around at command line level then all bets are off, because there is an implied understanding from both sides (OS X and Windows) that you know what you are doing. You can't really go around saying one command line is more complicated than the other, because by their nature, CLIs have a learning curve and are as complex or as simple as you want them to be, and are prepared to put in the time and effort to learn how to use them. Personally I find the Windows command line a right pain in the backside !
You also have to bear in mind that SpringHeeledJack presented us with a bit of an edge case. My solution was to provide an answer using built-in tools. I'm sure you could find apps on the App Store (or elsewhere on the internet) that would have done the same job via clicks of the mouse (such as the example posted by Milo).
