I'm assuming that $3 means the 3rd field in that line, unfortunately the data I want to extract has a space between it, so this script just returns the 1st part of it, not the full amount.

I'm assuming the code written before the {}s is the same as an IF statement.
Thanks for the reply, I'll have a closer look now to see if I can get things working.
