Thanks for the extra info. It makes more sense now that I know you were assuming i was running it like this:
cat $file|yourscript.ksh
The source file is basically static so the file it reads through is hardcoded into the script - i don't pass anything to the main ksh script.
I made a copy of the script and I'm trying a variation of what you suggested. I changed the read loop so that it greps the file prior to reading the lines. I removed the cat statement since it seem like it might be a UUOC - if there's a good reason to cat the file then pipe to grep let me know. Here's the read loop I'm testing.
Thanks again!!
