Hi Walter,
Yes, that's how I usually go with (no grep + awk).
But back then, I was having so many "trouble" escaping the special
characters associated with awk's syntax that I decided to go that way.
Now that things are looking better, I'll give that a try again. Otherwise
I'll miss learning...
Thanks,
Alex
