Jerry --- I tried the script below but did not work. rm output.txt cat test.txt | \ while read LINE do newline=`echo $LINE | cut -f 19-` echo $newline >> output.txt done test.txt is below 10-Oct-08 08:14 am 10
why not simply cut -b10- foo > bar t _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
