Thanks heaps agama that has worked a treat. I can barley understand it but I'll work on it a bit more. Quick question, why does it need to be piped to the kshell?
Not sure if your question was literally why is must be piped to a shell or if you meant must it be kshell -- would bash work. So, here are both answers:
The awk is generating the move commands, but needs kshell to execute them. It could be piped to bash, I just prefer Kshell so that's the way I tested it.
I'll add some comments to the code and maybe that will help you understand it a bit better.
