Hello, Got probably a simple question, one whose answer is probably staring me in the face. I'm writing a script that outputs stopped or aborted jobs in a mailq. The purpose is to grab field one, the queue ID field then place that info in a file. The problem is i can grab the first field, but cut takes the entire line. I need to know how to make cut split on a space? Thanks. Dave. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
