Thanks for the printf, never used it before. The result is not what I need and I am guessing I just can't get it to format out as I want. the number is 23240 for example and it is printing out on the screen as 23240.00 instead of $232.40

I have always been hesitant to use the sed command, it has been a while since I was in a UNIX shop, been in windows for the last 8 years and now back in UNIX.

But the sed command is working. Thanks.
