That's great and clearly cleaner than the round about way that I was trying to do it. I guess it's time to stop putting off learning awk and sed.
I get that awk is splitting the name using the period with -F and grabbing the first 4 sections separated by a period ($1$2$3$4). Then you want b to be everything but a. Just need to understand this piece {b=a;i++} .
Guess I better find a good book on awk and sed.
