Thank you very much vino!
I had to make all the double equals signs "==" to a single equals sign "=" to get it work. and it worked great!
By the way could you tell me what the codes below which was in your script is doing?

##*=
%% *
-n

Also if there's a awk solution please tell me if you can.

cheers
Steve
