What do you mean by abort? (You do understand that the entire input file has to be read, don't you?) Are you saying you want to process to terminate as the result of a SIGABRT signal instead of terminating with an exit 0?

Explain what should happen in the corner cases. (Such as if the target string is not found.)
i apologize if i wasn't clear.

when i said abort, i meant terminating with an exit code. my use of the word abort seems to have derailed this completely and that is my fault. again, my apologies.

say the content of the file is this:

Code:
Feb  1 a jakfif 
Feb  1 nahit 
Feb  2 a jakf
Feb  2 a bcaa
Feb  2 a bc
Feb  3 cna f
Feb  3 jaf af
Feb  4 uiaf aj
Feb  6 whatitoa


the code you supplied is doing this:

Code:
feb  6 whatitoa
Feb  4 uiaf aj
Feb  3 jaf af
Feb  3 cna f
Feb  2 a bc

notice how it stops at the first occurrence of the "Feb 2" string.

what i want it do is this:

Code:
Feb  6 whatitoa
Feb  4 uiaf aj
Feb  3 jaf af
Feb  3 cna f
Feb  2 a bc
Feb  2 a bcaa
Feb  2 a jakf

my apologies for the confusion.

exinext

EXINEXT(8)						      System Manager's Manual							EXINEXT(8)

NAME

       exinext - Finding individual retry times

SYNOPSIS

       exinext address|message-id

DESCRIPTION

       A  utility called exinext (mostly a Perl script) provides the ability to fish specific information out of the retry database.  Given a mail
       domain (or a complete address), it looks up the hosts for that domain, and outputs any retry information for the hosts or for  the  domain.
       At present, the retry information is obtained by running exim_dumpdb (see below) and processing the output.  For example:

	 exinext piglet@milne.fict.example
	 kanga.milne.fict.example:192.168.8.1 error 146: Connection refused
	   first failed: 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34
	   last tried:	 21-Feb-1996 14:57:34
	   next try at:  21-Feb-1996 15:02:34
	 roo.milne.fict.example:192.168.8.3 error 146: Connection refused
	   first failed: 20-Jan-1996 13:12:08
	   last tried:	 21-Feb-1996 11:42:03
	   next try at:  21-Feb-1996 19:42:03
	   past final cutoff time

       You  can  also  give  exinext  a  local	part, without a domain, and it will give any retry information for that local part in your default
       domain.	A message id can be used to obtain retry information pertaining to a specific message.	 This  exists  only  when  an  attempt	to
       deliver a message to a remote host suffers a message-specific error (see section 42.2).	exinext is not particularly efficient, but then it
       isn't expected to be run very often.

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
