Tried a replace of tabs to spaces. Unfortunately to no avail.

Talked to the owner of the file. It was DOS formatted and I forgot to check Smilie Smilie.

I did a
Code:
tr -d "\r"

on the file and then ran your code again. Lo-and-behold: it finally works! Smilie

Thanks a lot for your help. The line endings were my won stupid mistake, but the awk command I could not have dreamt.

As a final question, for me to learn, could you please give me a quick run-through of the command? A quick explantion is usually clearer than a trip through the MAN pages.

Thanks again.
