thanks, pistachio! much simpler code.

i had to tweak it slightly by adding a semi-colon:

Code:
for i in `cat user_list`; do echo "'"$i"'," >> formatted_user_list; done

but it still doesn't answer my question about removing the "," from the last entry. do i need to use something like sed or awk?

thanks
