So a few questions to start:-
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What errors/output are out getting?
  • What OS and version are you running on?
  • What are your preferred tools (ksh, bash, awk, perl, etc.)
Most importantly, what have you tried so far?

We all give suggestions freely, but you need to make it easy for us to help you and show that you have made an effort rather than just hoping for a reply with an fully tailored solution. Depending on your set-up and preferences, there may be various ways to approach this.
