Thank you both very much for your help. Combining those 2 commands (paste I had never heard of...) worked like a charm.

Paste was pretty self explanatory, but printf is a little more confusing. Can you please give me a brief breakdown of what the command is doing?

Edit: Saw the sed command with the -e, adding another command ... I shoulda thought of that!! Smilie

Thanks again for your help.
