Hi Spacebar,

Thanks for the update. The script is failing with the below error when I run it against the big file.

Code:
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "/^dn: cn=n/a"
        (Missing operator before a?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "/^dn: cn=n/a"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

Thanks,
Sam
