When I enter that command I get all of the text between the $VIB and it has added $END at the end!Smilie

I then used the second command you suggested (without the "^" character and it also works perfectly!Smilie

Thanks so much! I realize I am asking a lot, but is there a way to make this into a script with variables?

I am using a computing cluster, and I use a bash script to submit my jobs. It looks like this:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8,walltime=48:00:00,os=centos53computeA

## To submit type: qsub x.sh

# If not an interactive job (i.e. -I), then cd into the directory where
# I typed qsub.
if [ "$PBS_ENVIRONMENT" != "PBS_INTERACTIVE" ]; then
  if [ -n "$PBS_O_WORKDIR" ]; then
    cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
  fi
fi

# the input file is typically named something like "gamesjob.inp"
# so the script will be run like "$SCINET_RUNGMS gamessjob 00 8 8"

find /scratch/mzd/gamess-scratch -type f -name ${NAME:-safety_net}\* -exec /bin/rm {} \;

# load the gamess module if not in .bashrc already
# actually, it MUST be in .bashrc
# module load gamess

# run the program

/scratch/mzd/rungms $NAME 00 8 8 >& $NAME.log

So when I submit a the input file "job_name.inp", I enter something like

Code:
#qsub gms_8.sh -N job_name -v NAME=job_name

What I was wondering is if there is a way to make a shell script using your amazingly helpful awk command but with the variable "$NAME" for the file name?
