Bourne Shell Scripting
Hi, I'm having trouble with some UNIX Bourne shell scripting that I am doing for an assignment.

I am trying to sort a comma delimited file into a sort of format that will print out nicely in a telnet terminal window. I'm having a bit of trouble because all I seem to be getting is garble.

Also, how do I add records to a comma delimited file and delete them from within a shell script.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
