But I would like to strip off the first and last lines, since these are generally -- not needed. the goal is to write a generalized script that can feed dump with all the file systems on a box. any pointers? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
