i did copy paste from notepad++ into vi.. aplogies if this is not the scenario what u looking for...

sorry maybe my echo statement was the best example.

Code:

if [ -s file_log1 ] 
then
    mailx -r server@myworld.com -s "Error found $HOSTNAME, \
Engine 1, please investigate" my_email@what.com < temp_file_log1

else   
   echo "Error messages NOT found" > /dev/null
fi

so if i try and tab out 'Engine 1' to match the above 'mailx' that is tabbed out, i get an email that reads : "Error found $HOSTNAME, *TAB SPACE HERE* Engine 1, please investigate"

thanks for your time
