Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.. That works perfect for echoing the variables but what I'm really trying to do is the following which is copy a contacts file with in a subfolder and rename it with the prefix of its platform and server name to a new location:

Code:
$ while read PLATFORMVAR SERVERVAR
 do
cp /opt/firewalker/data/$PLATFORMVAR/$SERVERVAR/contacts /opt/apacheprod/scripts/input/$PLATFORMVAR_$SERVERVAR_contacts
done < /opt/apacheprod/scripts/input/copy_list.txt

When I tried the above it only copied the last server in the list and it didn't rename the file..

plsurf3d

PLSURF3D(3plplot)						    PLplot API							 PLSURF3D(3plplot)

NAME

       plsurf3d - Plot shaded 3-d surface plot

SYNOPSIS

       plsurf3d(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt, clevel, nlevel)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  a  three	dimensional shaded surface plot within the environment set up by plw3d(3plplot).  The surface is defined by the two-dimen-
       sional array z[nx][ny], the point z[i][j] being the value of the function at (x[i], y[j]).  Note that the points in arrays x and y  do  not
       need to be equally spaced, but must be stored in ascending order. For further details see the PLplot documentation.

       Redacted form: plsurf3d(x, y, z, opt, clevel)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       z (PLFLT **, input)
	      Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values.

       nx (PLINT, input)
	      Number of x values at which function is evaluated.

       ny (PLINT, input)
	      Number of y values at which function is evaluated.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Determines  the  way  in	which  the  surface  is  represented. To specify more than one option just add the options, e.g. FACETED +
	      SURF_CONT opt=FACETED: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function is defined.	opt=BASE_CONT: A contour  plot	is
	      drawn  at  the  base XY plane using parameters nlevel and clevel.  opt=SURF_CONT: A contour plot is drawn at the surface plane using
	      parameters nlevel and clevel.  opt=DRAW_SIDES: draws a curtain between the base XY plane and the borders of  the	plotted  function.
	      opt=MAG_COLOR: the surface is colored according to the value of Z; if MAG_COLOR is not used, then the default the surface is colored
	      according to the intensity of the reflected light in the	surface  from  a  light  source  whose	position  is  set  using  pllight-
	      source(3plplot).

       clevel (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to the array that defines the contour level spacing.

       nlevel (PLINT, input)
	      Number of elements in the clevel array.
