I need to combine two scripts, into one script. One is to delete something, the to recreate. Here is the scripts:

BIN=/usr/lbin
LINE='device for 0101a01: lpd://172.25.41.111:515'
while read LINE...

I recently acquired a book, "Linux Shell Script Programming"
its very useful. Supplied by Thomson course technology
I also came acroos a few PDF's which were helpful:D

I tried , but its not giving me just the printer name , because that is what i actually just need.
My variable if tested gives me just that.

+ cut -c 1-7
+ awk {print $3 }
prt=0101a01
+ echo...

i want to select a variable created and use it in a if statement, but not getting the desired results
