Ali,

For basic usage like this you really should look at the appropriate man pages, books or tutorials.

Wouldnt this work ?

find systemProperties -type f 1> lastm2.txt 2> /dev/null

You need to have a whitespace between -- and the backtick `. Also you need to have a ls instead of cd

set -- `ls systemProperties`
