alister, looks good except I need it to echo origstring unaltered if the 4th and 5th < 45, your solution echos blank if the 4th and 5th characters arent greater than 45
If you show what you have done, it makes it easier for others to assist and advise. I assumed you hadn't even gotten that far.

VERSION.4TH(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    VERSION.4TH(8)

NAME
version.4th -- FreeBSD version string boot module DESCRIPTION
The file that goes by the name of version.4th is a set of commands designed to draw the boot loader version at the bottom-right of the screen. The commands of version.4th by themselves are not enough for most uses. Please refer to the examples below for the most common sit- uations, and to loader(8) for additional commands. Before using any of the commands provided in version.4th, it must be included through the command: include version.4th This line is present in the default /boot/menu.rc file, so it is not needed (and should not be re-issued) in a normal setup. The commands provided by it are: print_version Prints the contents of the loader_version environment variable right-justified at the column loader_version_x and row loader_version_y. The environment variables that effect its behavior are: loader_version Set automatically by loader(8), but you can override it by setting in loader.conf(5). This should be the version of boot loader used. loader_version_x Sets the desired ending column position of loader_version. Default is 80. loader_version_y Sets the desired ending row position of loader_version. Default is 24. loader_color If set to ``NO'' (case-insensitive) or ``0'', causes the version to be printed without color (default is ANSI Cyan). FILES
/boot/loader The loader(8). /boot/version.4th version.4th itself. /boot/loader.rc loader(8) bootstrapping script. EXAMPLES
Override loader(8) version in loader.conf(5): loader_version="loader 1.1" SEE ALSO
loader.conf(5), color.4th(8), loader(8) HISTORY
The version.4th set of commands first appeared in FreeBSD 9.0. AUTHORS
The version.4th set of commands was written by Devin Teske <dteske@FreeBSD.org>. BSD
