Everything you have posted has helped. I cant thank you enough. It has been frustrating me because of a misunderstanding in a few things my instructor said to me in emails. I thought she was saying that my first try using last was wrong and my second try using tail was on the right track. but thats not what she meant. We exchanged emails today.

I love this class Im taking. This one question is the difference between 96% done and 100% done my class and can move on to the next one. ha ha It figures right?
I am much more comfortable erecting steel building that typing terminal commands!Smilie
I do love learning. I'll be going back to review and read more man pages. Ill update this when I figure it out.

Thanks again
