The last field in each record ought to be a number from 0-6 inclusive followed by a );. I may have one of those numbers wrong somewhere. I was trying to use grep to show me whatever character immediately preceeds the ); characters and couldn't figure out anything to pass to grep for any character that would return any results. In dos, that would just be a ?, but that certainly doesn't work with grep. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Twitter: @jdashiel _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
