Please note for step #1 I'm thinking about exttracting:

dev123(69): ls -lp ffa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dwisc g1 19 Mar 7 09:13 link2bin -> /users/05/dwisconbug/bin

I want to awk(?) "link2bin -> /users/05/dwisconbug/bin" so I can compare it to the contents of the file - that is of course after I modify the file contents to look like

diff2= cat '${link_nm} -> ${link_dir}/${link_src}' (will this do the trick?)

Thanks
