Methyl,
Thank you so much for helping. I'm still having problems but the additional quotes were very insiteful, wierd but insiteful. I was able to cut in teh loop but I was never able to send the line to the function. That is ok however because i was able to get each field from the string as if it was awk $1,$2,etc..
However, my call to the FindPath3 function is now broken and i have no idea why. It gets called but the ${1} is blank/ i've tried several different formats with the quotes with the parameter and echo statement but no luck. Any more ideas. I realize there are possibly other ways to accomplish my task, but my objective is to learn how to pass these parameters in the functions as well as achieve the end result. I'll need this ability for other code.
BTW, in order to get the cut to work i had to use the quotes and feed the cut with a pipe rather than pass it from the right side:

Hi,
In the following bash code rather than cutting at a predefined character I would like to cut at position i (i var from loop).
Is this possible? I have tried eval, but either it's not possible or my syntax is wrong.
thanks

The script is following :

wmanager-loop
WMANAGER-LOOP(1) BSD General Commands Manual WMANAGER-LOOP(1)NAME
wmanager-loop -- loop running window managers chosen with wmanager
SYNOPSIS
wmanager-loop [OPTIONS ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wmanager-loop program starts either the window manager specified by the WM variable or the first window manager listed in ~/.wmanagerrc
(or an X terminal emulator if none), and when it exits, runs wmanager(1) to prompt the user for the next window manager. It loops doing this
until the user chooses ``Exit this session'' in wmanager(1). Any options given to wmanager-loop will be passed on to wmanager(1).
If the WM environment variable is set, the wmanager-loop program tries to interpret it as a window manager specification in the following
ways in the specified order:
o a full path to an executable file to run as the window manager;
o the name of a window manager listed in the /.wmanagerrc file; e.g. ``fluxbox'' would match the following line:
fluxbox=/usr/bin/startfluxbox
o the program name of a window manager listed in the /.wmanagerrc file; e.g. ``startfluxbox'' would match the above example.
o the start of such a program name; e.g. ``start'' would match the above example.
o the end of such a program name; e.g. ``box'' would match the above example.
If the WM variable is set and there is more than one line in ~/.wmanagerrc that matches the specification, wmanager-loop will exit with an
error message.
As mentioned above, if no window manager is specified in the WM environment variable or found in the ~/.wmanagerrc file, the wmanager-loop
program attempts to start an X terminal emulator. If the WMTERM environment variable is set, the wmanager-loop program uses it as the path
to the emulator. Otherwise it searches the user's path for a program named ``x-terminal-emulator'', ``urxvt'', ``rxvt'', or ``xterm'' in
this order, and starts the first one found using its full path. If none of the common terminal emulators on the above list is found, the
wmanager-loop program just runs ``xterm'' in the hope that something will come up on the user's display.
ENVIRONMENT
The wmanager-loop program uses the following environment variables:
WM The name, path, or partial path to the first window manager to execute.
WMTERM The name of the X terminal emulator to execute if no window manager could be found in the ~/.wmanagerrc file. If not specified, the
wmanager-loop program searches the user's path as described above.
EXAMPLE
To start using wmanager-loop, create a ~/.wmanagerrc file - generally with wmanagerrc-update(1) - and add something like the following at the
end of your ~/.xsession file:
exec wmanager-loop -geometry +570+585
