From your description, I am not at all sure that I understand what you are trying to do.

Are you trying to create a file that looks like the file you showed us in post #1 from unspecified input sources? If this is what you want, how are we supposed to guess where this data comes from?

Or, do you have a text file like the file you showed us in post #1 from which you want to extract a list of login names, a list of user IDs, or a list of real names? If this is what you want, which of those three lists do you want? And, what form should that list take? (All values on one line with a comma between values? All values on one line with a tab between them? Each value on a separate line? ...)

If you want a list of real names, you need to give us some way to clearly identify where that name starts and ends in your file. (In you sample data sometimes it is the 5th word, sometimes it is the 5th and 6th word, sometimes it is the complete line with the 1st 4 fields and the last field removed and then removing leading and trailing spaces on what is left, and sometimes it is the complete line with the 1st 4 fields and the last 2 fields removed and then removing the leading and trailing spaces. The starting character position and ending character position vary between lines, so we can't just use character positions.)

Once you have your file or list, what are you going to do with it?

You said you tried RTFM. Which pages in the manual did you try to read? Did you look at cut and tail? Did you look at awk?

Which HPUX release are you using?

Which shell are you using?

id

ID(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						     ID(1)

NAME

     id -- return user identity

SYNOPSIS

     id [user]
     id -A
     id -G [-n] [user]
     id -M
     id -P [user]
     id -g [-nr] [user]
     id -p [user]
     id -u [-nr] [user]

DESCRIPTION

     The id utility displays the user and group names and numeric IDs, of the calling process, to the standard output.	If the real and effective
     IDs are different, both are displayed, otherwise only the real ID is displayed.

     If a user (login name or user ID) is specified, the user and group IDs of that user are displayed.  In this case, the real and effective IDs
     are assumed to be the same.

     The options are as follows:

     -A      Display the process audit user ID and other process audit properties, which requires privilege.

     -G      Display the different group IDs (effective, real and supplementary) as white-space separated numbers, in no particular order.

     -M      Display the MAC label of the current process.

     -P      Display the id as a password file entry.

     -a      Ignored for compatibility with other id implementations.

     -g      Display the effective group ID as a number.

     -n      Display the name of the user or group ID for the -G, -g and -u options instead of the number.  If any of the ID numbers cannot be
	     mapped into names, the number will be displayed as usual.

     -p      Make the output human-readable.  If the user name returned by getlogin(2) is different from the login name referenced by the user ID,
	     the name returned by getlogin(2) is displayed, preceded by the keyword ``login''.	The user ID as a name is displayed, preceded by
	     the keyword ``uid''.  If the effective user ID is different from the real user ID, the real user ID is displayed as a name, preceded
	     by the keyword ``euid''.  If the effective group ID is different from the real group ID, the real group ID is displayed as a name,
	     preceded by the keyword ``rgid''.	The list of groups to which the user belongs is then displayed as names, preceded by the keyword
	     ``groups''.  Each display is on a separate line.

     -r      Display the real ID for the -g and -u options instead of the effective ID.

     -u      Display the effective user ID as a number.

EXIT STATUS

     The id utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     who(1)

STANDARDS

     The id function is expected to conform to IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'').

HISTORY

     The historic groups(1) command is equivalent to ``id -Gn [user]''.

     The historic whoami(1) command is equivalent to ``id -un''.

     The id command appeared in 4.4BSD.
