Clarification
Allow me to clarify my request for this post.

Code:
the command pkginfo -l, provides a long listing of all packages installed on a solaris system. the output would look similar to this:
 
PKGINST:  SUNWzsh

....so on and so forth for all packages....

I dont need all the output. I am interested in capturing only 3 pieces of information, which are NAME,VERSION, and BASEDIR. Im my limited understanding, all these three pieces of information would make up a record.
The goal is to insert the server name in front of every record and dump the data into a comma seperated file. Once we have all the data from all our servers will will combine them into an excel spread sheet(comman delimited) for review. An example of the desired output is as follows:

Code:
servername, NAME, VERSION,BASDIR
servername, NAME, VERSION,BASDIR
servername, NAME, VERSION,BASDIR
so on and so forth....

so far I have been able to insert the commas with the following script:
Code:
pkginfo -l | egrep '(BASEDIR|NAME|VERSION)' | sed 's/  *//g' | awk '{print}' ORS=','

which produces the following output...

Code:
NAME:RSAAccessManagerAgent4.8forSunJavaSystemWebServer,VERSION:4.8,BASEDIR:/opt,NAME:cas_cpsampleconf-Classactionscriptcpsampleconf,VERSION:1.42,REV=2010.11.26,BASEDIR:/,NAME:cas_cptemplates-Classactionscriptcptemplates,VERSION:1.49,
.....so on and so forth for all the packages......

I have discovered that a carriage return may be needed.

at this point I seem to be stuck. I was able to insert the server name
but only for a few records. For some reason it will insert the server neame every 40th record. The code I was using to do this is:

Code:
for PNAME in `pkginfo -l | egrep '(NAME|VERSION|BASEDIR)' | sed 's/  *//g' | awk '{print}' ORS=',' `
do
 echo "`uname -n`, $PNAME" 
done

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

on a side not, are there any books i should be reading for scripting?
