I'm still having trouble stripping each line out so I can put it in it's on variable or text file.
i.e. I want 10 to be in a text file or set to a variable alone
20 set to be in a text file alone or in it's on variable and
30 set to be in a text file or set to it's on variable. I really want the position of the number because the number will change depending on the number of full tapes. Sorry guy's if this sound elementary all I want to do is grab which ever line I want 1-3 on call to my discretion.

Thx
