First of all Let me thank you guys for posting the solutions so quickly.
I have tried each one of the code that was posted.
although arunsoman80 solution I liked apprently it does not work because of the return 1 and "-z" switch in the if statement.
scottn solution makes me twist the logic.
research3 solution fits perfect !
whatever it is, all you guys seem to be real knowlegeble and seem to have a good grip on unix
Thanks once again.
