First again, thank you very much.
So now I will have:
bob:johnson:email1
jan:geters:email2
ricky:sticky:email3
I need to loop through and assign vars to each value in the line so I can do some testing on them.
Man this is getting complicated, I hate asking for all this help to do things I used to be so good at a long time ago, but I do really appreciate the refresher, so thanks a tun!
Big Picture:
I am going to have one file like the above format. Then another simular file with different colon delimited values. I need to pull lets say last name from file 1 and find it in file 2. Then build a file 3 with the values from the first two files but in a different order..
You follow me?
Just thought it may help if you knew the grand scope of what is going on here...

sticky(8) System Manager's Manual sticky(8)
Name
sticky - executable files with persistent text
Description
The sticky bit (file mode bit 01000), is used to indicate special treatment for certain executable files and directories.
While the sticky bit, mode 01000 is set on a sharable executable file, the text of that file will not be removed from the system swap area.
Thus the file does not have to be fetched from the file system upon each execution. As long as a copy remains in the swap area, the origi-
nal text cannot be overwritten in the file system, nor can the file be deleted. Directory entries can be removed so long as one link
remains.
Sharable files are made by the and options of
To replace a sticky file that has been used, clear the sticky bit with and execute the old program to flush the swapped copy. This can be
done safely even if others are using it. Overwrite the sticky file. If the file is being executed by any process, writing will be pre-
vented. It suffices to simply remove the file and then rewrite it, being careful to reset the owner and mode with and Set the sticky bit
again.
A directory whose sticky bit is set becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately, a directory in which the deletion of files is
restricted. A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and
the user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory, or the superuser. This feature is usefully applied to directories such as
which must be publicly writeable but should deny users the license to arbitrarily delete or rename each others' files.
Restrictions
Only the superuser can set the sticky bit.
