Sorry to return to the trough again for script help, but find excellent answers here when all else fails, and I am not very good at it. Trying to develop a script (non-bash) that will extract a variable list of content on a daily basis so I can add it to a master list. Once I have this, I can do the rest of the scripting needed. Here's an example of the need. The content I need will always fall beneath a row of pound signs, and there is content above that row I don't want, like this: bunch of rows I don't need here ############################### <--- the top of stuff needed row1 row2 row3 row4 etc, etc.... So, I need a way to pull out the rows (which vary daily) beneath the pound row and place it in a new temp file that I can "cat >>" into a master file. Appreciate your kind help once again.... (beers on me!) All the best! Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L. Stone System Admin Sage-american
