Thanks for your help allistar. Using your posts on sed i was able to play around some more and get what I wanted.

However we must be in different shells / environments because my environment works differently than yours.

For example:

Code:
me@server  dir $temp=*
me@server  dir $echo $temp
file1 file2 file3 file4
me@server  dir $echo $temp[1]
file1
me@server  dir$echo $temp[2]
file2
me@server  dir $
