Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Organizing text file by Capital Names (capital word ' ' capital word) Post 302936333 by eladage on Tuesday 24th of February 2015 06:14:16 PM

Thanks for replying, but I need to only include names in the fifth field so I'm thinking if I could just grab the lines if the fifth field is in line with "capital first name" space "capital last name" then output only those lines so it wouldn't print something like "mail mail" or "games games" but instead lines like "wallack Phil Wallack" or "clocke1 Chris Locke" etc.
