acgstatus[17]: syntax error at line 1 : `?' unexpected


I flipped the ' to ` and add some quotes " around tacg cause other wise it gets messy. Should I just turn it into bash. I would mind learning something new if it gets the job done fast and neat. Can you still query informix/dbacces with a bash script?

it is all most there, otherwise it would have spit out a bunch of junk. I see what I can do with it till I hear from you again. ;-) Thx
try nawk instead of awk

Use quotes and not the backticks

You save the saved the day. It wasnt an if statement but i take it. I have to find another time to brush up on if. Thanks to everyone, but if someone still has the time to place a if statement. I would love to see it also.

NAWK is da bomb!
