Right, so now this code switches line "var" (which for this example is set at 3), with a line two below it...but how do I switch line "var" with say another line defined by another variable, say "var2"?...or would this code not be able to do that?...I know I probably should've asked for this caveat at the outset, my apologies.
I'm a bit new to regex and sed/perl stuff, so I would like to ask for some advice. I have tried several variations of scripts I've found on the net, but can't seem to get them to work out just right.

I look for primary and * to isolate the interesting slot number.

login
LOGIN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual LOGIN(3)NAME
login, logout, logwtmp -- login utility functions (DEPRECATED)
SYNOPSIS
#include <util.h>
void
login(struct utmp *ut);
int
logout(const char *line);
void
logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);
DESCRIPTION
The login(), logout(), and logwtmp() functions are DEPRECATED; use pututxline(3) instead.
These functions operate on the database of current users in /var/run/utmpx and the system log file. Superuser permission is required.
The login() function updates the /var/run/utmpx files with user information contained in ut (after converting to a struct utmpx, as described
in pututxline(3)).
The logout() function removes the entry from /var/run/utmpx corresponding to the device line.
The logwtmp() function adds an entry to the system log file. Since login() will add the appropriate entry during a login, logwtmp() is usu-
ally used for logouts.
RETURN VALUES
logout() returns non-zero if it was able to find and delete an entry for line, and zero if there is no entry for line in /var/run/utmpx.
However, there is no error indication due to lack of permissions.
FILES
/dev/*
/var/run/utmpx
