Cool, that makes sense then. TMYK and all that. :) Oh, I noticed indentation on the code snippets provided. Is that a tab or just spaces? I figure it is for readability since my local guru tends...

Oh, I added my third variable when trying it. Is it that $# won't trap all three? I take it using - eq 2 checks for existence?

I am looking at bc now, converting dec input to hex may actually be easier since I am completely untrained and new at this. I can strip off the 0x (actually just pull out the part where I added it)...

Heh, that is actually what I have been pondering pretty heavily as an alternative actually. :)

My suggestion that end users learn hexadecimal before touching my script was denied, sadly.

Thank you for the reply, I am glad it was awk/nawk and not me this time. :) Now to take your code and figure out how to make it work for me!
