Tools thanks...
aigles,

I will try yours out in a bit. I need some time to figure it out.


dr. house,

Anything after the first 10 numeric digits (or 12 with dashes) can be thrown away, such as line 1 of your output. Would you add maybe another conditional (length() maybe) to your "awk" or can the "sed" be modified to trim this?


Thanks for the input.
