done < test_emal.txt
Thanks for the response.
Sometimes though the name is 1, 2 or 3 fields, a name could be:
George
or
Mr Read
or
Mr George Read
So I would need to change the IFS to tab or multiple space characters perhaps?

I tried:
name=`echo $line | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "\t" } ; {print($1)}'`
and
name=`echo $line | awk -F"\t" '{print($1)}'`
These work on the command line but not in the script.

maybe a simple question, but i've looked around and not been able to find anything.

STRSTR(3) 1 STRSTR(3)
strstr - Find the first occurrence of a string
SYNOPSIS
string strstr (string $haystack, mixed $needle, [bool $before_needle = false])
DESCRIPTION
Returns part of $haystack string starting from and including the first occurrence of $needle to the end of $haystack.
Note
This function is case-sensitive. For case-insensitive searches, use stristr(3).
Note
If you only want to determine if a particular $needle occurs within $haystack, use the faster and less memory intensive function
strpos(3) instead.
PARAMETERS
o $haystack
- The input string.
o $needle
- If $needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
o $before_needle
- If TRUE, strstr(3) returns the part of the $haystack before the first occurrence of the $needle (excluding the needle).
RETURN VALUES
Returns the portion of string, or FALSE if $needle is not found.
