I ran

Code:
zcat /home/filename* | cut -f 3 | sed 's/.*\(XXXXX.\{1,5\}\).*/\1/' | less
and it appears to have output the contents of f3. regardless of matches.

Filename is correct, f3 is definately where I should be.

I am sure I have done something wrong here, as I am posting questions in the dummies section
