Neutronscott made some better suggestions IMO.
Yeah, I am brushing up on my awk, so I am sure there are more efficient ways to use it. Also, thanks to Nuetronscott for helping me, even though I was being too daft to catch on. I apologize for that. Just working non stop and traveling has pretty much fried my brain...I need like a whole weekend of sleep.

Thanks
