If you want to get rid of them, you can use
Code:
sed -n '/^[A|B]\{1\}[0-9]\{3\}ZZ /p' infile

So there will be no need left to check if, and then do some action Smilie

A little hint: If you use grep, don't cat a file into it. Just use grep <pattern> <filename>, as grep can take the file to be processed as parameter. Era will be proud of me! ;D (sorry, that was a kind of insider joke) Smilie

XmDirectionToStringDirection(library call)								XmDirectionToStringDirection(library call)

NAME
XmDirectionToStringDirection -- A function that converts an XmDirection value to an XmStringDirection value SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> XmStringDirection XmDirectionToStringDirection (dir) XmDirection dir; (void) DESCRIPTION
XmDirectionToStringDirection converts the specified XmDirection direction value to its equivalent XmStringDirection value. Basically, if the XmDirection value has a horizontal direction specification, that horizontal element is used; otherwise, the XmStringDirection value is interpreted as XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R. This function provides backward compatibility with the XmStringDirection data type. Note that the Motif toolkit also contains an XmStringDirectionToDirection routine to convert an XmStringDirection value to its XmDirection equivalent. dir Specifies the XmDirection value to be converted. RETURN
Returns the following XmStringDirection values: XmSTRING_DIRECTION_R_TO_L If the dir argument has a right to left horizontal direction value in it, for example XmRIGHT_TO_LEFT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM. XmSTRING_DIRECTION_L_TO_R If the dir argument has a left to right horizontal direction in it, for example XmLEFT_TO_RIGHT_TOP_TO_BOTTOM, or if the horizon- tal direction value in the dir argument is ambiguous, such as in the XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM value. XmSTRING_DIRECTION_DEFAULT If there was no horizontal direction specified. RELATED INFORMATION
