Just as a comment on forum etiquette, it's better to collect all information about a problem in one place. So if you need to add information, you can edit your previous posting (if it hasn't received any replies yet) or follow up with more information.

If you explain the context of what you want to achieve, rather than delve directly into the mechanics of a solution you think will work, somebody might be able to come up with a better solution than the one you were thinking of. It also helps bring out implicit requirements which are not obvious if you only describe the details.

You might be very busy, but in the four weeks you seem to have been grappling with this, you could have spent an afternoon on reading a Perl intro. Even if you are not directly planning to learn Perl, knowing a little about the language will help you ask better questions, and save you time by helping you avoid the "scattershot programming" approach (change the script randomly until you no longer get syntax errors, then wonder why it doesn't do what you hoped it would).

learn(1)						      General Commands Manual							  learn(1)

NAME
learn - Provides computer-aided instruction for the C shell SYNOPSIS
learn [-directory] [subject] [lesson] The learn command provides computer-aided instruction courses and practice in the use of Tru64 UNIX. OPTIONS
Allows you to exercise a script in a nonstandard place. DESCRIPTION
To get started, enter learn; if this is the first time that you are invoking the learn command, you are guided through a series of ques- tions to determine what type of instruction you want to receive. If you have used learn before and left your last session without completing a subject, the program uses information in $HOME/.learnrc to start you up in the same place you left off. To bypass questions, enter a subject or lesson. In order to enter a lesson, you must know the lesson number that you received in a previ- ous learn command session. If you do not know the lesson number, enter the lesson number as a subject. The learn command searches for the first lesson containing the subject you specified. If the lesson is a - (dash), learn prompts for each lesson; this is useful for debug- ging. You can specify the following subjects: files editor vi morefiles macros eqn C SUBCOMMANDS
There are a few special commands. The bye command terminates a learn session, and the where command tells you of your progress (where m tells you more.) The again command redisplays the text of the lesson and again lesson lets you review lesson. The hint command prints the last part of the lesson script used to evaluate a response, while hint m prints the entire lesson script. This is useful for debugging lessons and might possibly give you an idea about what is expected. EXAMPLES
To take the online lesson about files, enter: learn files You are then prompted for further input. FILES
Playpen directories. Start-up information. SEE ALSO
Commands: csh(1), ex(1) learn(1)
