Perderabo,
Firstly thanks for the responce.
I'm using `bash` as the running shell, we do have `ksh` but we happen to write most of our scripts in `bash` so `ksh` doesn't ever get much of a look in.
I have done some debugging (whilst not shown); performing a `cat` on the .temp file immediately after the `grep` statements and the output is formatted correctly. But after the read, the record being read is shrunk and similar to the second output example.
I hadn't mentioned it before, but the input file is the result of a `mpsar -b`(SCO Unix) - just to provide some indication of what I'm playing with. (I create a daily file every night)
I'll try the IFS="" and see if that makes any difference.
BTW - Is there any advantages in using `ksh` over `bash`?
