Cutting the top two lines, and also charachters below.
Hey all. I have a file that I am trying to cut information out of. We have a script that shows us all of our Radio Scanners that are being used and I'm writing a script that clears all of the context off of the scanners. The script that runs shows us this information below...

|emp_id |first_name|last_name |base_unit|radio_id|
|---------|----------|--------------------|---------|--------|
|S990CA2 |CORY |AUKERMAN | 1| 66|
|S990LR4 |LARRY |ROGERS | 1| 67|
|S990EF1 |ELIZABETH |FREDRITZ | 1| 69|
|S990JG7 |JARED |GEORGE | 1| 70|
|S990SM9 |SANTOS |MELCHOR JR. | 1| 71|
|S990RB8 |RONNIE |BOWLIN | 1| 73|
|S990MW3 |MEGAN |WARE | 1| 74|
|S990ML1 |MICHAEL |LOWERY | 1| 75|
|S990HW2 |HAMER |WOLFE | 1| 77|
|S990RB13 |RAY |BYERLY | 1| 81|
|S990DM3 |DEAN |MULVAINE | 1| 82|
|S990JH3 |JAY |HARTMAN | 1| 84|

The only info that I need are emp_id and the Radio_id. The only problem is, I don't know how to cut the top 2 or 3 lines to erase the headers. I have the characters that I need cut out just fine, but I'm not so sure about the top 2 lines. Any help would be great.

Thanks a lot.

xbattbar

XBATTBAR(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       XBATTBAR(1)

NAME

     xbattbar -- show battery status in X Window

SYNOPSIS

     xbattbar [-a] [-t thickness] [-p interval] [-I color] [-O color] [-i color] [-o color] [-c] [-s script-name] [top | bottom | left | right]

DESCRIPTION

     xbattbar shows the current (laptop) battery status in the X window environment.  Battery status is obtained through the APM kernel module.
     The APM kernel module depends on your UNIX platform, therefore, consult your documentation for its detail.

     xbattbar shows its battery status in a simple bar indicator.  -a option makes the indicator window keep always on top of your screen.  The
     thickness of the indicator is 3 pixels in default and you can set the thickness as a parameter of -t option.  This indicator is appeared in
     the bottom of the display, as its default.  The option top, left, or right forces the status indicator to be at the top, left, and right of
     the display, respectively.  Though it's a default, you can also use buttom as the option.

     In the case the AC line is on-line (plugged in), its color of the bar indicator consists of "green" and "olive drab" portions.  The "green"
     portion shows its battery charging level.	These colors can be changed by -I and -O options.  In the other case (AC line is off-line), the
     "blue" portion of the bar indicator shows the percentage of its remaining battery level.  The color conbination for the AC off-line case can
     be changed by -i and -o options.

     xbattbar trys to know its battery status in every 10 seconds in default.  This is achived by APM polling. If it is used with option -c then
     ACPI polling will be used.

     You can use your external script for check battery status. It must print two lines to STDOUT 'battery=value' and 'ac_line=on|off

     -p option sets the polling interval in second.

     If the mouse cursor enters in the status indicator, the diagnosis window appears in the center of the display, which shows both AC line sta-
     tus and battery remaining level.  This diagnosis window disappears if the mouse cursor leaves from the status indicator.
