Hi Don.. Interesting idea but The 2 variables will be written from data withing the text file, Specifically the first line.
Suppose some more context might help, but i was trying to keep it simple :-).
I will have many files to process and all are the same format, and I will need to extract this line out, and then read the Center Number and name, then write them out to another file.
Another part of the script will read the input file and this part only needs to extract the Number and name from this line. The number wil be any number between 1 and 999, and the leading zero is the problem.

Hi All,

psidtopgm
psidtopgm(1) General Commands Manual psidtopgm(1)
NAME
psidtopgm - convert PostScript "image" data into a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
psidtopgm width height bits/sample [imagedata]
DESCRIPTION
Reads the "image" data from a PostScript file as input. Produces a portable graymap as output.
This program is obsoleted by pstopnm. What follows was written before pstopnm existed.
This is a very simple and limited program, and is here only because so many people have asked for it. To use it you have to manually
extract the readhexstring data portion from your PostScript file, and then give the width, height, and bits/sample on the command line.
Before you attempt this, you should at least read the description of the "image" operator in the PostScript Language Reference Manual.
It would probably not be too hard to write a script that uses this filter to read a specific variety of PostScript image, but the variation
is too great to make a general-purpose reader. Unless, of course, you want to write a full-fledged PostScript interpreter...
